Customer Emailed Pictures of Porsche 996

Hey,

Got these pictures from another happy customer. This is a Black Porsche 996 on 20x8.5 and 20x10.5 Vossen VVS094 Silver Machined Wheels.

Let me know what you think.

Have a great day!

Way to stay out of the black hole

Those wheels look fantastic on that car.

As far as size goes...I'm not a fan of 20's on a 996, looks or function

Love the style

I dig it. Personally, I love the 20 inch wheels and am sick of the mesh.

The car looks great with them though

I can see why you thought that

Yeah, black on black is all good if done up right

My "black hole" remark was about were they originally moved, stuck the sponsors/vendors.

Too big for my taste. But I think they'd be great in 19's on that car.

Loved to but looking like next year now, will try to make it out there.
thanks BGirlie
Anyways, Ben does owe me a few cups of coffee followed up by some good wine

BTW, My wife and I took a recent road trip to Walla Walla in the P-car (our first of such).

Fantastic roads to let loose + some of the best food/wine to be had

20's are too big for the 996 wheel arches. Upsets the balanced look - even some Hot Wheel cars had 996 wheels that were smaller and looked better.

20's are too big for a 996, period. 19's would have been fabulous especially with a bit more drop.
Maybe it is just the camera angle, but the front end of the car looks higher than the rear.

I just can't see paying good money to mess up a pcar's performance. JMHO... To each their own though.

agreed...even with 20s the car seems to sit way too high.

Wheels look good, but not feeling the center caps. The crest is just too small to look right, whats with that?
