Hell, now she's pushing me to swap out the console in my cab. That's progress.

Good luck to you!

I'd recommend HRE; they can provide offsets as well as amazing looking wheels......and if you're going to spend; as you mentioned ADV.1, I'd go for HRE instead because of superior service and products

I was told only the rs100 and 590rs can be fitted onto the 997 with center lock. I already have the 590rs on my M5 so that rim is not an option.

She's a keeper! It's not so much about how much I spend. Its more about time spent modifying the car. Researching parts, buying them and then go getting them installed. I don't have much free time so time spent modding is frowned upon lol

I've settled on some HRE S107 in 19s. I will visit the dealer sometime soon. ETA for the rims will be 3-4 weeks. Will post pics once the new shoes are on.
