Totally agree. I’ve never liked the Lobsters but they look pretty amazing on a Taco 996.

Thank you! I really like them and they make the car look way more modern than with the stock wheels, imo. I LOVE the .2 GT3 wheels, but these were a lot less. I paid about 350-400 bucks for the wheels, and then had them refinished. So about a grand all in. I’m running 10mm spacers in the front. Nothing in the rear. Only way I will swap them out is if I find a steal on either .2 GT3s or some BBS LMs or E88s. I’d go back to 18s at that point. 👍🏻

Is it harsher than 18s? For sure. But, I don’t really think it’s bad at all. I did a few things at the same time I swapped the wheels, so it’s not a great apples to apples comparison. I installed B6s and H&R springs at the same time. I’ve also done a couple other suspension things, like bushings. Having said that, and after driving on New England roads for a year, it is stiff, but not bad at all. The changes give the car a much more aggressive, planted, and sporty ride. But hitting a bad highway overpass expansion joint at speed isn’t very enjoyable at all. I’m sure 18s would improve that, but it’s not bad.
