Just a quick shot from my cell. Full high res pics were taken and will be downloaded this afternoon.

360 Forged Spec's
20x8.5 20x12
245x30 325x25 Conti Extreme Contact DWS ****NEW****

Wheels were originally matte black centers and inners. We refinished them with a tiger powder coat called Gunmetal Metallic. I had custom center caps machined to accept not just the wheels but the Porsche steering wheel badge as well and also powder coated with this finish as you can see here. Car is stock ride height.

I have modified some sick looking 911's since I've been here at GMP but this one takes the cake. I think I'm a bit biased because the Meteor Grey is my favorite.

speedART exhaust is next.

Enjoy this one fellas because I certainly did.....

I love the look but hate the 20's on my car. I am not sure about the 997 but because of the OEM being 18" for the 996 the jump to 20" is too much. I know the geometry of the suspension is compromised w/ the center of the hub being so much higher on my car. It seems to change the ability of the PSM system to recognize certain characteristics of the car and wants to come on even though I know it isn’t near the cars limit.
Maybe the 997 since it had 19” OEM wheels won’t be a problem. I love the look of the wheels, mine look like that but are black spokes w/ chrome bolts and chrome lip. <O</O

Putting 20's on a 997TT is just like putting 19's on a 996TT. In fact these 20's weigh about the same if not a little less than the forged 1 piece 997TT wheels.

Sweet Jesus!

Anything upclose with 19" wheels?

I barely have traction on 19" wheels in this car - can't even think of 20's.

Hey Matt
I love it. However, I may be just a little biased for some reason....

Also I neglected to say that Matt and GMP are the best. I still can't figure out how to give rep points, but I would if I could just figure it out. The team at GMP is superb!!!!

Its not much about diameter as it is about the tire and size if you need more traction we can order you a set in 19's with a 12' rear so you can run a 325 size tire

hit me up via email for a personal quote
