I think BBS were the first to design a wheel now seen in similar designs, moving more from the multi-spoke LM style to the F1-R style. I fell in love with these but never see many quite as perfect as these and for me a 997 looks better with a slightly older style like the KL12's of HRE FF01. But it is personal choice !

(This picture got me drweling about how I could get 18's on my 991 GT3 !)

Little update, I switched out the MRG Titanium Lug Bolts for an MRG Titanium Stud Kit, also added 5mm rear spacers making the effective rear offset +48.

What size are these center caps? Car looks great. Love the details you focus on.

Those are the cleanest wheels on Earth!
You got to lose the front license plate.

Thank you, the center caps are around 2.5" (64mm) and the Porsche decal is about 1.75" (45mm).

Thanks, I wish they always just stayed that way.

Looks great as ever, amazed you are running ET48 at the rear. I am running 305/30 on KL 12x19 ET58 and I have zero issued but doesn't look like I'd get away with another 10mm !

Thanks! I think ride height has a lot to do with it, as the car gets lower the more the wheels tuck in. I am also running -2.1 camber all around. Your fitment is perfect at your current ride height.

How do you like the tune and bolt ons? Think you’re close to 997.2 S power?

I like the tune, the bolts-ons were mainly for sound but I'm sure that the long tube catless headers contributed to some decent gains. The tune made a huge difference in the mid range, I haven't dyno'd it but it definitely pulls harder than a stock .2 S.

Default Fashion Shoot | October 2023

Some photos from a fashion shoot last fall, the 911 was used as prop in the set. I was given permission to snap some BTS pics so I jumped on the opportunity
