actually looks not bad....if only it was a little more wider to match the body.........but still looks unique from the standard......

Greetings from MN! I saw that too, and had to laugh--your wheels looks great. I have really considered black wheels for my 996 too. 6speed is kind of a moth-and-flame thing for me. I buzz over there once in a while, get grief for my choice of 18" wheels or lack of a wing, and then leave.

Are those your wheels in your avatar? They are beautiful...do you have a side shot of your Porsche to see the wheels on your car?

Jon996

(I am guessing you meant me and not the OP--I liked his wheels a lot too.)

Thanks! I saw them first on Ray S's avatar and liked them a lot! In real life they are even better. They have a great finish and all smooth surfaces. Easier to clean than others I have had. You can use stock Porsche hubcaps too.

jon996, very nice with the champion 18s!! i've been undecided on wheels for quite some time now. but i'm pretty sure i'm gonna stick with 18s on my dailydriver c2.

I am no aerodynamacist but it looks like that would generate more drag and less downfoce than the standard MK1 or MK2 aero decklid. I like the look of it tho...

That thing would make a good snow plow!

Jon996, thanks for the compliment on the wheels. Your wheels look fantastic. They are stunning with the red paint. I read a post on 6-speed last night where Ben told someone that their car looked like junk...I just shook my head. I appreciate how civilized it is here. The E46 Fanatics forum is even worse.
Steve, I'm sorry I missed your post about this steering wheel...I thought this post died. I'm glad you like it.

I believe that Ben just got banned from 6Speed as well. He seemed unusually harsh in recent weeks...even for Ben.

Thanks for posting the ducktail for sale. I'd consider it, but the car in the pics looks like an authentic GT3 (prob. not an RS), but isn't the GT3 intake vent area different from a standard 996? I believe this is why there are two different types of taco tails you can buy for the 996...one for the aerokit (non GT3), and the actual GT3 wing??

Yeah, that contraption in the front, and the squirrel tail on the back would add just the right touch!

A squirrel tail and a snowplow in the same day, do you have nothing better to do than pick on Phil?!?! Not that there's anything wrong with that.

gota911

Well, Phil's name magically keeps popping to the top of the list.

Wellardmac

I know, he does ask for it.

I like the ductail......classic or new. Now what about the whale tail?

I'm a sitting duck(tail).
