Wow, TireRack is Fast!!!

I ordered the wheels/tires yesterday morning, and received them today!!! Mounted and balanced, all I had to do was install them on the car.

I don't have the new lug bolts I ordered or the center caps yet, so I just took some spray paint and painted the original lug bolts black, and used plastidip to paint the original center caps black.

TPMS sensors detected the tire pressures by the time I left my neighborhood.

I think they look great!!!

Here are some pics:

15mm spacers in the back would do you right.

Hmmm, I just ordered 5mm spacers for the rears from ECS tuning. I feel like it needs just a little bit, was afraid that more than 5 might be too much.

The fronts look fine as is, without spacers, IMO.

Fit and construction of the wheels looks good to me, but I don't know if I'd be able to tell the difference. They seem like good quality to me. If you want, I can take some close ups. Let me know.

I run 15mm in back, nothing in front. go bigger in back, you won't regret it.

Here here. Porsche was mandated to sell the car with offsets that still fit chains! I can't imagine putting those on a 911.

I have 5mm front and 12mm rear on my 997.2 4S (PASM and Turbo II wheels). Fronts are almost perfect flush and the rear look great at slightly over flush at the center of the wheel. The top tucks just under the fender.

Z.S.
