i am trying to justify a set of MY02's on my 997, just have the feeling they are just a bit small, and what tires and suspension...? thanks, kk
On 285 35 18 rear and 245 40 18 front
these came off a 993tt so if you order from fikse you can get the right sizes. I have already emailed them and gotten estimates on inner barrels to make the rear wider. Going to need to get thicker side wall tires for the rear anyway.
My current project bought off wholesale. Still many hours to go but I found some good lighting to hide the paint so I could show folks my Chinese wheels! I like them.
WhipE - those are some nice chinese wheels! Can you share a link/price? Thx.
I got them directly from OEMWheels+ in CA. They shipped really fast. I gained 13mm in the front which is probably 3 more than I wanted and I think 7 in the rear. I 'might' add 5 mm space in rear. I can't tell the quality yet, they are matte black and I haven't had them long enough to see how easy they scratch. I found them on eBay and contacted dealer directly. Then the day they arrive the price had dropped $100! I emailed to complain and they said it was a mistake, too bad I said anything, others would have got them for super cheap.
Anyway I'll let you know after a month or so of driving and washing them and how they hold up. Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-MATTE-BLA...item3f36b26cf1
With such a proliferation of 911s these days (997 production numbers were incredible) the only way to personalize one's 997 ride these days is to pick out a wheel different than the 5-6 that Porsche provided for the cars. It's amazing to me how vast the selections are, and how wide the pricing. You can go super inexpensive, with Chinese knockoffs made from recycled Coors cans, to one off custom CNC-machined beauties!
Keep the photos coming. I've been very happy with both the ones that I ordered for my car (Carrera Sport, XRRs) and my Otto Fuchs for the latest 'modern' Porsches. I keep switching back and forth, as I like them both so much! However, I need to refinish and repair 2 of my XRRs. Too many potholes in the People's Republic of Kalifornia.
