Photoshoot of my 997.1 Carrera S on HRE Wheels
I had some free time and decided to get some new photos of my car now that I'm pretty happy with how it sits. It's a 997.1 Carrera S with the factory aerokit, coilovers and HRE Wheels. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out

The 997.1 with Aero Kit is one of the best looking Porsches. The proportions just look so damn right.

Great looking car and nice pics.
A couple things:
A couple things:
- Rear looks like it might be a little low relative to the front. If you open the doors and put a digital level on the metal door sills, see what the rake angle is - should be about 1 degree canted toward the front. Maybe it is and just doesn't look that way in a couple of the photos due to the angle the car is parked on.
- The PSE tips should be level if you draw a line through the center of both circles of a dual tip. Yours are rotated counterclockwise on the left side and clockwise on the right side where the smaller diameter hole is higher. Maybe you like the way they look better this way and did it on purpose (tops of both tips are then level instead of the centers of both tips). If so, that's fine too, but thought I'd mention it.

The car looks stunning. How much did you pay for these HRE wheels?

I'm extremely pleased for you too because your car looks fantastic! Very clean yet simple. I know HRE doesn't share offsets but what are your suspension mods and wheel specs. That's a nice wide wheel on a semi aggressive stretch for a NB.

Thanks everyone, the comments are really appreciated!
Thanks. Yes, the rear is just a touch lower than the front, need to take a look at it but haven't been in too much of a hurry since it'll need another alignment after. As far as the PSE, I've never removed it from the car and it was a factory option so it should be as installed by Porsche. Perhaps a dealer had it off at one point before my ownership, but I don't have any records of anything that would require its removal. Who knows though, stranger things have happened!

Appreciate it. The wheels are 19x8.5 and 19x11.5 in 996 Turbo offsets. I went with standard tire sizes of 235/295 so there is only very minimal stretch out back, but it is needed to clear the fender. These have a 4" lip out back so they just barely work when it comes to caliper clearance and offset, but I'm sure glad they worked out as I love the lip out back

The PSE tips can be adjusted separately from the mufflers. There's a little nut underneath where you can loosen the clamp, realign, and retighten if so inclined.
