Wooow those look good. They came with the porsche center caps? Are these rims strong compared to factory wheels? What color is your car?

Yes, they came with the center caps, seem to have a good reputation and my car is Lapis Blue.

Not to knock those with Blue cars or darker cars and black wheels but I wanted a wheel that you can see not have one that doesn't really show the style of the wheel.

Its going to be a loooooong winter wait to get these installed. But the car will be transformed with Eibach Springs and the new wheels.

Nice rims, are they 19s? You gonna put a monster 305, 315 or 325 on the back?

I could be mistaken but, if you run 235 in front aren't you supposed to run 295 in the rear and 245 fronts with 305 are better matched for balancing under steer.

I'm pretty sure all 997s came with 235 front regardless if 295 or 305 rear. I run 245/35 front and 305/30 rear though to help with under steer.

Mine are factory 235 fronts and 305 rear, I do not track mine so the extra 20mm up front is rarely missed.

Ha ha Mike I was afraid I'd offend you but the black on blue isn't my taste. Actually I may alienate myself here but I think that black rims are kinda played out. They do look good on some colors...
