looks great, but in desperate need of lowering.

 

The wheels do look good!! and are they 19" ? Cost more than Rinspeed? Are they cast or forged?
I have a black 997 C4S and changed the rear emblem to black and have been looking at black tips as well. Is ceramic better than powder coat?
Thanks!

 

techart coil overs and 15mm HR spacers in rear and 7mm in front....swapped out my pedal set for a fullrenline full pedal set up indluding back and floor panel, powder coated calipers, hardwired V1, B/M short shift etc... car rides great!

better pics soon....these are pretty poor....

 

not sure I can comment on which is better, I did ceramic through Bill at Fuzion (on this site, guy is top notch).... the RUF wheels are classic porsche, been around for years and although not OEM I feel the closest none OEM wheel that just fit with 911's.... here is the site for them, they are 19's and one down side, they are heavy.... www.rufautocenter.com

 

I like the wheels. They look great.

 

Are this Ruf wheels lighter than Rinspeed ones?

 

adding the all red taillights would look great IMHO.

 

very nice indeed

 

great looking car and wheels, congrats

 

looks great- RUF is such a classic sporty look. will look much better when lowered.

Question- isn't it better to run 15mm spacers all around (assuming stock wheel offsets)? Had this on my 996, not sure how it applies to 997.

 

Great setup. I respectfully disagree with that one brother and say that I'd leave the Ruf on the center caps. That's a top notch brand and looks great. Everyone's right though in thinking it needs lowered. I'd do that too. (I have some H&R lowering springs I'd sell you for cheap and they're great. Seems like I'm always mentioning that I have something for sale. Garage is FULL!) And lastly, 305s are just fine. I notice a decent difference in grip, actually.

 

I did lower it, techart coil overs, 10mm drop, it looks much different then the first set of pics. Did you see the second pics on page 2. Cant go any lower as front lip already to close to the ground....

Thanks.....I did drop it, added tech art coil overs.....15mm rear and 7mm up front is about max I would think, I mean I like them flush the flares and they are right there....
