Greyghost is infamous around these parts
Bri... yes you did and yes they were the old wheels.

The wheels look better in person than in photos. So much detail and strength... killer!

Nothing like a stock wheel for me...I just finished my final pics for my new 997 and I am going with the 19" thin spoke OEM.

I went with the Carrera Classic which is basically the 19" version of your wheel. The lobster forks are nice though I like them as well. On another note my 2003 looked very similar to yours w/S Skirts, Yellow Calipers Coil overs..all done @ Champion...I loved that car thats why I am getting another one...Never sell it to downsize you will spend every day missing it and nothing is a substitute once you have any 911.

Whats the price on the Avus?
If your not sure or dont trust your wheel dealer, do yourself a favor and call Damon at Tirerack. This guy is top notch, will help you with any questions and give you all of your tire options. I recently dealt with him successfully and give him 5 stars along with the whole Tirerack experience.
Greyghosts car is captivating, (((drool)))

I like them personally..... Your stocks remind me of the stocks for the 3rd Gen RX7 (FD3s).... "Just do it!"
