Champion wheels with pics
Just got my new Champion wheels from Brandywine Porsche. They are 19x8.5 and 19x11.5, tires are Pirelli 235/35/19 and 305/30/19. These wheels and tires mounted and balanced ready to install weighed 41.2 lbs front and 52.2lbs rear. My stock Carrera S (the lobster forks) weighed 43.8lbs front and 54.2lbs rear. The quality of these wheels are amazing. They look like a three piece wheel, but are only a one piece. They really finished off the performance look of my car.

The aero kit is from Rinspeed. The kit fit perfectly and is subtle and clean, but still agressive. Here is Rinspeed's link. One more pic from the back. You can't see the rear diffuser very well, but I guess that is because it fits so cleanly it almost looks like part of the rear bumper.

Very nice! Yes, Rinspeed makes some real quality stuff... definitely worth checking out their website. I am considering their exhaust system for the 997 S.

Very, very nice! The RS98's actually look better on your car than I remember from the unmounted wheels and other pics I have seen. As you know, I just got Champion RG5's last week - same basic wheel, different spokes - and I got LOTS of positive compliments at the NorCal/SoCal rumble last weekend. I think you made an excellent choice - it really makes the car!
I also really like that wing!!! If you care to share, I'd be interested in what the aero parts cost.
Thanks for sharing!

I said those were Champion RS98's, but I just compared and I don't think they are. I didn't see that wheel, but I like it better than the RS98's. Which wheel is it?
