You bought a dedicated DE car? It was so nice knowing you were tracking your 997....

It was one of those things... Either get GT2 seats, roll bar, harnesses, suspension, etc. for the 997S OR, spend the mod money for another car that has all the DE equipment installed

I love my Fiske FM5's. Great service from a bunch of dedicated car people. And the product is like a major upgrade to the suspension, brakes, and motor for a single do it yourself price. And you can run them, repair them, and they will still look new for a long time. I have bought 4, ruined them over time with pothole or slippery pavement accidents, and repaired them all, one half rim at a time. They come back good as new. And you can polish them to a mirror shine with a little elbow grease.

Good luck with the sale.

Back from my trip - sorry to have delayed some responses to PMs.

To answer a few questions - when I ordered these wheels, it was about a 3 month wait to have them built and shipped. So by purchasing this set not only do you save $2000, you also save about 3 months. There is zero damage to the wheels - they are "as new". The tires have exactly 2 DEs on them (4 days total), which means 16 heat cycles. Current tread depth is 6/32 - they have plenty of life left and are just now running perfectly (should have shaved them, irrelevant now).
