Love your new wheels.
I've had them for about 4,000 miles. Great on the street and fantastic up in the mountains. They felt better then my Potenzas in the snow

Glad the wheels worked out and it's nice to see some actual photos that show the weight savings over a stock GT3 wheel

What Hankooks are you running. Your rear stretch looks non existent.

I've never really been a fan of yellow cars, I always wondered who would buy a yellow car....until I saw the Porsche yellow. The yellow truly fits the 911 bodystyle so well and yours with the dark rims is simply sublime! Clean and beautiful, congrats! I wouldn't hesitate to buy a yellow Porsche is one ever came my way.

i think it's because the tires are mounted on 19x11 vs. the stock 19x12 wheels, the wider wheel gives the tires more stretch.
