I want new wheels.....

I will keep my 19' Rufs but want another set of shoes......(still debating black P coat on the RUFs as well) I want something that screams classic/retro Porsche if that is even possible. 19's is a must.... saw someone that had some speedline looking wheels on a red 997 a while back and thought it looked great. Believe it was on this board....Any suggestions with pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Fluffy,

There you go again, another breakout of the mod bug.

BTW had Rennline pedals installed today. Heel Toeing seems like such a simple concept now!

I have a problem.....

I just can not control myself..... haven't done anything to the 997 in a while so put in an order for a couple Yamaha Zuma's to cruise around with (49cc scooter run maybe 35-38mph stock).....they haven't even arrived yet and already scoped out a shop to do exhaust, throttle body, and some other mods.....
It should run close to 50mph+ after some tweaks....if it moves it can be modded. My wifes will be stock....

Love my rennline set up.... great mod to the 997, did you do floor pan and back panel as well?

OK back to my wheels.....

I have a set of powder coated lobster forks in 19's (OEM) with tires (7,500 miles left on them) and doing it for $1,250 shipped with H&R spacers, center caps, and lugs. Let me know if you're interested. Maybe even a trade + cash?

Check out the GP7's in the right side banner - the website haas pictures. Made by Champion, very light and very classic looking. I especially like them in the gunmetal.
