Default Seal Grey with Sport Classics

Hello!

New to the forums, recently picked up a new to me 997 cab in seal grey. Spent quite a bit of time on this forum trying to determine what wheels to put on the 997 and decided to go forward with the Sport Classics from the dealer. I know a few folks have been wondering what the wheels would look like on seal, so thought I'd post a few shots.

Loving the car!

Take care,

KS

Looks really really nice especially with grey, congrats! If it were me, I would space them out a bit and lower the car some, especially the rear from what I can see, then it would be perfect.

Enjoy!

I actually talked with the dealer about putting 5mm spacers on the rear and I opted against because I found the bottom of the tire extended just past the fender while the upper portion sat just inside. I was looking for a flush fit with the fender and decided that using spacers would push the tire out farther than I wanted. That being said, lowering it a bit would look pretty amazing...

So funny that you posted this pic. I actually used a picture of your car to help make the final decision on purchasing these wheels. Loved how they looked on your car. I originally wanted an all black 997, which it looks like you now have? Apparently, we must share the same brain.
