Those are the best wheels I have seen on the 997. Bravo!!!

Thanks a lot guys for the positive comments. Yes I have lowered the car with H&R springs from Vivid Racing. As for the wheels, I was brousing ebay when I came along these. I got them from http://brandywineporsche.com , ask for Justin in the parts department. I think they contracted out Champion wheels to create this wheel. They are definately Champion wheels, but I couldn't find them on their website, or anywhere else. Almost identical to the Kinesis F110, but the center around the lugs is different and the spokes meeting the lip is also just a bit different. I like these a lot better than the F110's just for those small differences. As far as the painting I own a bodyshop so I prepped, painted, and installed everything myself. The kits fit and finish was excellent.

Best looking 997 I've seen thus far. Here is the Brandywine eBay listing. They don't mention that these are ACTUAL Champion wheels. They look awesome regardless.

Did you get the wing doors as well

VERY NICE CAR CONGRADS, BUT WHAT ABOUT ENGINE LID DID THEY CHANGED IT FOR THE REAR WING? IS IT STIL OPERATABLE? UP AND DOWN?

joeacc

No I decided to pass on the lambo doors, lol. As for the rear wing, no it is no longer operational. I just unplugged it and then drilled holes into the engine lid to mount the new spoiler.

geez, those are simple and strikingly good-looking wheels. Sorry to ask for more, but do you have a somewhat close-up view?

joeacc, did you mount the kit on your car yourself? What about the paint job? Did you specify your color and Rinspeed did the paint work on the parts?

I actually live "down-the-road" from Rinspeed in Zumikon so might pop over and take a closer look. I like the design very much and they are considered to do very high quality stuff.

joeacc

Yes I painted and installed it myself, no Rinspeed does not offer the kit prepainted.
