Brilliant Rajeev. Aside from loving how the APEX wheels turned out (sure we're are a bit biased), the car is beautifully spec'd inside and out.

I have listed the wheel specifications below for readers who may be interested in the fitment. Since this is primarily a street car, Rajeev and I landed on the following spec's. For performance driving enthusiasts looking to maximize tire width, we also offer 9" front wheels and 12" rear wheels.

APEX SM-10" in Anthracite
F: 18x8.5" ET42
R: 18x11" ET36

Thank you for allowing us to be apart of the build. Enjoy her!

Car looks great, my only suggestion is to add some rear wheel spacers.

Get wiinshield shade while parked in the sun! It will keep the dash leather from bubling!

This is awesome! And here I thought I was the only one to go from a 997TT to a 996TT.

Msile, how do the 996tt and 997tt compare? My 996tt was recently totaled. I really want to get another 996tt but contemplating on a 997tt.

looks awesome. why the alternator with only 14k miles?
with the new tune I assume you will be doing upgraded clutch some time in future?
I would get carbon fiber wrap for the seat backs.
enjoy!

Very well done. I had been eyeing Apex anthracite wheels for my 03' seal gray turbo but wasn't sure how it would look. REALLY NICE is the answer haha. I second doing the rear wheel spacers though. Again, nice job, very tasteful.
