Please be careful with those wheels for winter driving (IIRC, you said the car came with stock rims also....those are likely much better with regards to sidewall height/deflection and potholes).

Best of luck with the car.

Wise words about the wheels. Although I do not plan on doing much/if any winter driving!

Once I have the stock wheels...I might give it a go.

Send a PM to T2 or search for his posts in this forum.
He has ~200K miles on his 996TT and he has driven it all over New England in the winter on stock wheels IIRC.
The 996TT in the snow is very impressive.....from what I've heard, mine has never been in the rain (hey, the world needs garage queens too)
