Max,
Should have pointed that out too. I have the cargraphic "loud" exhaust.

champion replacements

AT that point champion will decide if they will go into production. he said it's looking like 4-5 months if they even decide to make it. He was not confident.
Not sure what I'm going to do. The Kinesis F110 is nice but I'm really not a huge fan of polished, large lips. I was hell bent on having wheels shipped before I even pick the car up, but maybe I'll just stay stock for a while until I see something I really like.

how about these sportec mono10 wheels as replacements for the champion rf-67. they meet your specs: 19", no lips, lightweight, 10 spoke, etc. you will need to use 10-17mm spacers on the rears as the mono10's are 60mm offset on the rears.

speaking of spacers - I'm not a techie at all. Is there ANY reason you would not want to use them?

atomic80 - I really love those wheels and am currently looking into getting a 997 TT and am thinking about getting these wheels - I seem to recall someone on here or other board ordering them from the factory - were you able to use you stock tires on the new wheels? if not the cost may be prohibitive for the set with tires (my estimate is wheels with tires somewhere north of 5K?) thanks - matt

dolt, it's not possible to order these GT3 RS wheels from the factory. Wish it was.
I did use the stock tires with the new wheels, yes. They fit just fine. I'd guess that it'd cost you around $3600-$4000 to get those GT3 RS wheels.

that stinks, maybe I'll have to wait on them then - if that is the case it makes my life a little easier, as it was the only reason to order a car (and then have to wait until the end of june to get it) and now I can just find the options I want on a car already at a dealer - I would rather get it from a local dealer, but the one I like to use does not have much in and not even a single new car to deal out for one in a trade if I found one elsewhere - I'll have to keep looking
