Cant wait till next year to slap shoes on mine. Im going with 18 size wheels. And fat rubber. Looking into fiskie wheels

 

^ Those look great. Definitely like those.

 

OZ Leggera HLT from Damon at Tirerack, just put them on last week. Maybe not THE best loooking wheel on a 996tt, but from a price/weight/quality stand point, they are exellent, and they do look good, too!

 

I've been looking at the Oz wheels recently

Have you got any more pictures you can post up?

 

Yea those actually look pretty good, any side shots?

 

Not a very good quality pic, but all i have at the moment. Damon warned me that the fronts might rub, but I went with the 245/35 MPSS up front and it did rub. I added 8mm spacers. These pics are actually before the front spacers were added. 295/30 MPSS rear do not rub (barely).

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tirerack recommends 225/35/19 when selecting these tires. Is there a reason you went with the 245? I think these wheels look really good on your car and would consider them in black for mine but don't want to add spacers.

thanks

With the 53 offset, I think the 225/35 may even rub due to the increased overall diameter from the 18" wheels, and the 245/35 keeps the overall diameter close to the rear diameter. Most other wheel manufacturers use the 45 offset. While the spacers on the front are not optimal, I still love these wheels for the cost/style/weight/quality.

 

What suspension are you running?

 

those are my next wheel choice as i'm fairly thru with my f14's . thx for posting the pix. i am weighing the same 3 points $/looks/weight and add to that the availability of a custom fitment. looks nice. good choice!

about 1500/1750 per set?

No way!! Stock American 996TTs look ridiculously high in the front.

 

The bigger diameter 19's help with this. I don't plan on lowering the car, which is one of the reason's I chose the 19's with 295/30 & 245/35, it helps fill those gaps, still rides nice, and my butt dyno can't tell any performance loss with the larger diameter, and even with the larger diameter they are lighter than the stock solid twists.
