Default new wheels for the 997.2, first time meisters have graced a 997 chassis.

been rocking volks since i got the car cause thats all that was quickly available...



but wanted these ever since i got the car... had 8 diff sets of meisters on my S2k back in the day and just love them.. japan said they never sold them for 997 cause the brakes would not fit, but i challenged their doubt and ordered a set anyways... lets just say they clear by 2mm, and idk if theyd fit S's because the squared edge on caliper.












testing oem lugs in the meisters and screwing around. wheels go on monday.

Quite nice. But I'll bet their a lot easier to maintain with PCCBs. That's a lot of fasteners to keep up with!

I had a set of Volk Racing TE37 Time Attacks on my last car, loved those wheels. But I must say the Work wheels look very nice indeed. Please post some pics with them mounted on your car. And did they come with center caps?

meisters dont come with caps, not made to work w/ caps.. going to paint the hubs black tomorrow AM so they disappear from sight.. i would like black lugs but im going to try oem's and then go from there.

I towel dry my wheels when they come out of the washer; dryer seemed like overkill, but maybe next time I give it a shot.

I "blow dry" mine straight out of the washer.

Got the advice from a hairdresser that owns a white on beige 997.

They are nice. Do they come with a man servant to provide upkeep? BTW the Volks look very nice as well.
