Yeah, I figured that out real quick, thanks. I heard if you set the camber on the Techarts to between 1.5-1.7 which is standard spec for GT2, the wheels do not stick out further than the bumper

Do you really want that high camber look. Personally, I think you'll need more than -1.7. Look at the techart car in Excellence a few months back. Silver car with the techart wheels. Those rears reaaly stick out of the fenders. I like my cars with minimal camber. Just enough for good street performance but not more. This gives the car a more squared off look as opposed to a rearend that looks like King Kong sat on it.

Lou,
I would have responded sooner but just got back from vacation. You will absolutely love the Cargraphics once you get them!! Everytime I go out to functions etc.. the wheels are always a topic Besides, It sounds as if you have a line on them... If you were doing the Techart nose & tail package then I would consider the Techarts ...

If you're going for the all around good, clean look...then go with the Techart's. However, availability like you said is a problem.

If you're going for the aggressive look....then get the Cargraphic's. Sounds like you're getting a hell of a deal anyways.

Life could be worse.

Here are some pics of my car back in the day when I had the cargraphic wheels.
CARGRAPHIC WHEELS ON MY CAR


Reason I got rid of them is cuz I get bored very quickly. They are more agressive looking then the TechArts. I do have the TechArt Formula on my Cayenne and love how easily they are to keep clean.

I'm in for sure, can't wait! Where are you getting your wheels mounted and car aligned? What camber are you going with?

Just got off the phone with Sol of Perfectpower. Extremely knowledgeable guy. I'm scheduled to bring my car in two Tuesday from now for corner-balancing and alignment. If you've the time, you can stop by and check out the work. Eitherway, I'll let you know before I go.

Sol is great and very knowledgable. He installed my exhaust and we talked for a while. Lot of cool Porsche's in his shop. Let me know. What are you doing now it is like 65 degrees right now.
