White 997S gets Shark-a-fied with LWF & HRE Competition Wheels
This 2008 white 997S came into us completely stock and left with a whole host of track-ready goodies including the SharkWerks light-weight flywheel conversion, EVOMSit software, Tubi Exhaust, and a set of light-weight HRE Competition wheels.
The "classic" before shot as she arrives for surgery:
Up she goes to tackle the transmission and exhaust first:
Out comes the transmission to get access to the factory dual mass flywheel:
The single mass flywheel saves 14 pounds:
A close up of the heavy and quiet factory system before it gets replaced with the Tubi system:
Out comes the factory intake system:
In goes the free-flowing and better-sounding EVOMS V-Flow unit:
The ECU is benchflashed with the EVOMSit software calibrated for 91 octane:
Out comes the rear main center console in preparation for the B&M short shifter kit:
Installed:
The factory wheels before being replaced:
The HRE Competition C-93 wheels in brushed/clear finish:
In the rear:
And a close-up of the brushed/clear finish on the centers:
Ready to leave:

I know the XRR factory wheels are heavier, but they look better than the HRE wheels, IMO. But, as long as the owner likes them, that's all that matters.

Nice setup, however, to me the stock wheels actually look nicer! 
PS. Oh and where's the Tubi?

What lug nuts are those?
Car needs to be driven harder the factory bin stickers are still on the inside of the caliper!
Nice work...as always!

What are the HP / TQ gains from the mods?

He is keeping them
Sorry I didn't put it in.. I will
Very nice indeed! And once he figures out his driveway situation that's on the cards
And those are the nuts that HRE sends...You get about 20hp/18tq...
Roger that

tell em to go at an angle!.. its amazing how many people go straight or turn the wheel and say "it rubs!" my exige is 2" off the ground and the 997.2 wasn't much more than that and i've yet to see an incline i couldn't get up at the right angle...
