I not opposed to certain race inspired livery. I actually had the the BMW LTW checkered flag livery on my Alpine White e36 M3. White cars are just a great canvas for motorsport livery. I just felt that the "Carrera" script was overkill. Sometimes, less is more…That said, being that this is white 911, I am seriously considering the Martini livery. The car is getting the aerokit front end and a Sports Classic style ducktail in the rear, so I think that the Martini livery would look appropriate for a retro-modern theme.

Great job, and it really looks good. One suggestion that I am surprised you haven't heard or seen yet, turn those Porsche emblem wheel inserts so that they point to the valve stem!!!

Good eye. Actually, I am that **** retentive and I did align the crest in relation to the valve stem (just in the opposite direction as you suggested), look at the picture, the flat top of the crest is perfectly horizontal to the valve stem at all four...

I don't recall ever liking after market wheels on a Porsche...until I saw yours. Those are fantastic. Sorry if I missed the name of them, but what kind are they? Could you not get an offset that fit so you didn't need spacers?
Unbelievable that someone is so careless with the interior and have beat it up that badly.
I'm in the, "Keep the e30" camp. Should have sold the other two and kept the appreciating bad a$$ e30. Even if you hadn't planned on it, you will daily drive the 911.

I might have made a mistake selling the e30 "prematurely", but I didn't sell her cheap, let's just say, I made out very well...And I did sell the e36 and also made out well. I do believe that e36 are becoming very collectible. They'll never command e30 type money, but they are more fun to drive, cheaper & easier to maintain, lower cost of entry, etc...

Ditto. That is until I got used to the 20" O.Z. ultraleggeras on my 997. I am thinking about downsizing to 19" (tire availability) so went to my local P-dealer to look at factory wheels on cars. Nothing caught my eye... I just may opt for the Starke wheels seen above!

Do it! They are as light as OZ Ultraleggeras and are JWL certified as well, which is great for the price point. Notice they bear a resemblance to the OE wheels as pictured above on that Martini edition 991!

Looks like you put 235/35-19 up front. Maybe 295/35-19 in the rear? I just might be selling my 20" ultraleggeras...
Did you buy the wheels and tires as a package? Did all arrive in good condition? Last time I bought tires on-line they arrived stacked on my porch with nothing but address labels glued to the sidewalls. They had a rough ride and looked it. I had pictured paper or plastic wrap, at least.

Sounds like you're in florida. Not a lot rocks or road debris to kick up. BUT with your wider stance and spacers, you may want to consider some 3M stone guard in front of your rear wheels. Looks like your removed Carrara sticker would have protected some of that area.

B/c I bought only the wheels, they came in their factory boxes. If buying as a tire & wheel package, then it's standard industry practice to just circular cardboard to sandwich the wheels and tie them w. nylon cording- as wight he tires, the wheels will no longer fit into the box. Tire Rack does really job, since it's their core business.
