Thanks Frank!

Wheels are 20" Forgeline DE3C-SL. I don't recall the widths. Measuring with a tape they appear to be 9.5" in the front and 12" in the rear but don't quote me.

Tires are P-Zeros: Fronts 245/30 Rears 325/25 (5mm spacers added).

My dealer had the wheels and sold them to me for $3000 which is pretty much half price. I had to purchase the tires in addition to the wheels.

Really pleased with the look. I was torn between the TechArt and a Ducktail (UBoat's) but finally decided on the TechArt after considering the width of the C4 and not wanting the ducktail to get lost in the rear flank.

That is my favorite of all rear spoilers. Classy - perfect with the body style and not a "boy racer". Love it.

Sounds awesome! I have X51 headers and 200cell cats but stock mufflers I would love to compare the sounds. Come to the SF dyno day when it gets finalized!

Have any of you guys replaced the license plate bulbs with the new fluorescent bulbs (from Suncoast) ? Is that easy to do?

Last week - put on an Xpel Clear bra on my 2006 C4. Yesterday took her out for a run to Northbend and then Woodinville.... Great day to go for a drive.

The wing looks great, I've wondered how it would look on a 4s... If I ever swap my 2s cab for a T4s I'll definitely want to keep my wing!

That wing works well on the C4S - very 993 like.

Gave my 997 a bath yesterday and then applied Zaino "World's Best Show Car Polish" on the black finish. Car looks brand new.
