You have a very nice car. How do you like the rims?

champion monolites --- no debate. Deep, spoked well, lite, and they exude confidence without being overbearing.

The F110's are HOT! I would go with them....very clean and complimentary to the 997 lines.

Do you know the off set? I'm wanting to make sure, when I order some rims, that I get the most lip on my rear rims. Though, I do not want the rim to stick out from the rear fender.This is why I'm asking.

Talking

I ended up buying the Kinesis wheels and a set of new Michelin rubber for my car.

I should get them in about a week.

I'm going to keep the stock wheels for the track.

Thanks, but need to know the off set off the wheels, because some wheels by design will have different lip with same off set.
