Thanks. I was surprised how well they looked after I put them on.

Thank God!

Please don't remind me where I live. Only 8 months left and I am going to kiss the Midwest goodbye!!

What do you recommend? H&R's? I am a bit nervous because there isn't much room between the fender and wheel in the rear.

Looks like you have a little over an 1" of clearance. Maybe the M030? That would lower by 10mm (3/8"). Maybe?

Might be my next project. My Porsche funds are running a bit low at the moment.

Same boat here...just ordered my rear Sumi's last night from TR for the Summer. Stuff is accumulating and I need to put it on the car. Good thing is I am getting close to where I want the car.

Ryan: those wheels look effing HOT. Nice work my friend.

What size/brand tire did you go with for the rears? The previous owner put 275/30-19 on those same wheels (in silver) on my car, and they look a little stretched. Yours don't look as stretched as the General Exclaims on my car do. I've got to burn down those Generals and put some stickier and wider rubber on. That'll happen as soon as it starts to get warm, which should be sometime in mid-July at this pace.

Mine are Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's 275/30/19 in rear and 235/35/19 in front. They don't seem that stretched. Maybe Generals fit different. I do agree, fatter rubber may be needed next time. One good pothole and I'm done.
