Default Obliglitory pics of my new Champion RS98's....

Tough decision. I originally wanted Kenisis F111's but don't like their new ownership. Other contenders were the BBS's and Champions RG5's like Jim's (JCNESQ) beautiful coupe. I left the colored crest center caps on though I think for $80. I might prefer the black/silver ones. Opinions?
Now I'm just waiting for my GT3/aerokit front bumper cover to be painted and installed. Then if I can the car into my garage with the lower front bumper I'll install H & R lowering springs, or perhaps the new PASM compatible PSS9's....

RS98s are perfectly suited for these cars. Gorgeous.

I think with your color scheme, the black/silver caps might look better.

Have you considered having the centers painted?

Great-looking wheels - I'll bet they're really light too.

That looks like it was shot in the Wheel Enhancement parking lot.
Beautiful wheels.

Needs some H&R's on it to bring it down a little bit. IMO. Nice wheels tho!

Also have these wheels. They're lighter than the Lobsters that I had before, TPMS friendly and look great to boot.

I have an 05 997 Artic Silver and Black and recently changed out the wheel caps to the silver and black outlined ones. Great choice. No regrets and makes the the car standout even more. And that's with factory 18" wheels so you can't go wrong there in my opinion.

Wife says I should add the silver colored hood crest I've seen on ebay out there to complete the touch as she calls it but I am still on the border on that one mod. Any thoughts?
