My Sportec Wheels arrived... *PICS*

Let me start off with WOW! I love these wheels. They arrived on Saturday just late enough that I could not get them mounted on my new Pilot sports that have been sitting patiently to be fitted. So I got up early this morning to be first in line at the tire shop. Scott over at Rival Motorsport hooked me up with a great deal on these wheels. His service was outstanding. If you are looking for Sportec parts give them a call. Rival MS is the new exclusive NA dealer. ( www.rivalmotorsport.com ) The fronts are 8.5/19 Rear 11/19. It was a pretty crappy looking day out, I will post some better pics next weekend. I have a couple of other cool mods coming in the next week or two.

Very sleek and clean! They tie the whole car in perfectly. The lighting in 7th shot down makes your garage look so inviting. Nice place you have there!

So gorgeous congrats. What are the two chrome circles behind the grill in the front? Look like intakes but giving the porsche's engine setup I wouldn't think that would be true.

Did you have to use a spacer in the rear? I was looking at these also, but the website shows availability only for narrow body offsets. For a turbo they reccomend the spacer.

BTW- The car looks awesome!

I believe those are brake cooling ducts.

Thanks guys! I love the look too.

The TT does use Sportec hub Centric Spacers. They are stamped Sportec with Sportec part numbers I think the rear are 15mm and the front are 5mm. Something along those lines.

The silver rings are part of the Sportec Brake Duct kit. They exit in the front wheel well. Not only do they look great...They are very cool and functional lol! They will be cooling my Brembo 8 piston BBK

wow. Amazing! Great work.

How much do those suckers weigh?

That paint is incredible by the way. What products are you using to keep that shine?
