Default New Shoes!

Finally the weather is nice! Time to take some pics of the new wheels I just got from Wheel Dynamics. Eli is great to work with and I highly recommend them.

Yep 19's. No sounds clips yet. I get compliments all the time for the sound though. Most are surprised to hear that it is just straight pipes when they ask what type of exhaust I have installed.

I came across a set of Fabspeed pipes but the seller even talked me out of it as he said they were loud! I currently have the Fister Ds and they sound fine. Just wondered feedback from straight pipes owners. How is the cabin noise? Can you listen to the radio or your passanger?

I bet the catbypass made it VERY loud. Cops don't really bother me around here and I am pretty much the only Black 996 in town.

My old wheels - Yea i would sell them. I found out they are actually 993 wheels. They are a little nicked up but could be good track wheels. Interested?

ohhhhh. nope just 19's unfortunately. I was a bit skeptical buying 19's but they fit is pretty good. Just a tiny bit less rubber of course.
