Looks amazing with the new wheels.
I would recommend Porsche crest for the center caps. totally transforms the look IMO.

Your car looks amazing! Are you thinking about a BBK?

Thank you! No BBK for now, I would love the look but the stock brakes are adequate for my needs, the 997.2 has 13.0" (330mm) rotors all around and I don't track my cars. Maybe sometime in the future!

Looks like it will warm up towards the end of the week, hopefully I can get the car washed and snap some proper photos

Default Finally Clean

It was finally warm enough to give the 911 a bath, warm enough for a car nut atleast: 7°c (44°f). The snow is slowly melting in my area and I am hoping to be driving soon, but I snapped some better photos in the meantime. Hopefully these give you fellow Porschephiles a better idea of how the new wheels and offsets look on the car:

The suspension is a little bit low for my preference but those wheels do look great! Just curious are you redoing your driveway or is that permanent?

Nice looking car...
Is window tinting allowed up there?

Thank you! No worries, I thought the specs were too aggressive as well until Duwerke convinced me otherwise, I am glad I listened.
