Nice pic. I think those are Kinesis K19 wheels.

See here: http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...elDetail&id=75

Edited: K19, not K29

Look like Kinesis to me. Slight chance they're HRE's.

Pretty wheels. But the Aero kit looks like something a 20-year-old in Orange County would put on his Mitsubishi. Sorry. I just think adding "stuff" to the classic 997 body's design is like putting a Magic Marker mustache on the Mona Lisa.

Somehow putting a Magic Marker mustache on the Mona Lisa is like tacking a ricey aero kit on a beautiful 997.
Nice cleavage, though.

The wheels do look great -- so do the clear side markers! What's the color? Looks too blue to be Seal Gray.

I think it is Seal, it has the ability to change in different light. It looks like it was overcast when the photo was taken. Aero kit is too busy, wheels are ok.

Dang that's low, I can't drive a car with such low clearance. But looks pretty nice.

To everyone who doesn't like the Aerokit, you aren't going to like te GT3 either, because the body work is almost identical.

How did they get an aerokit already? I thought it wasn't being released until 2006 MY.

It's my car...I didn't post it because I know most of you hate the aero kit. Keep in mind that I set this car up to go to the track...not the office and Porsche has track tested this kit.

The ride height is adjustable...the car has PSS9's on it and the wheels are K19's

how do you like the 997 on the track, is this a 997s or just a 997? I've been think about tracking mine, but haven't as yet.
