Do the F110s come in Black? I currently have the Techarts - they look fabulous, but the damn things could anchor a cruise ship.

They do not but you could get them done locally since they're a single piece wheel it's pretty easy to do...

PS If anyone wants a set of barely used 20 inch Tech Arts with tires let us know

hehehe....i doubt i will change my wheels since the super charger is going in next week. The F110s are the best wheels out there for my super charged 997s.

WTS Barely used Tech Arts...!

The F110s look beautiful. I have 20" TechArts for my street wheels. I'm all about some bling and large rims, but I wish I'd gotten 19" rims whatever type I had decided on. The 20's just look too big, and the tires too low profile. But that perception changes and moves up a size every twelve months or so, so maybe I'm just ahead of my own curve . . .

No idea what that means (you have to talk slow - I AM in Arkansas . . .). "Gone" means they are: 1. SO last week (couldn't be much longer than that for the 20's), 2. Out of stock, 3. They were stolen off of your car?, 4. or . . . You're keeping them for yourself and not giving / selling them to anyone else (my 12-year-old daughter's theory).

Hi Russ,

Sorry I meant the used ones are "gone" as in sold. I can get new ones but I still prefer F110s

Just kidding (although we DID miss the earlier reference). Truth be told, I prefer the F110s too . . .

Somone I know (Jeff) is selling his 20 inch Cargraphics for a 997S so you might want to try that too since you want to go for used. He takes really good care of his toys and has very few miles on them. The reason for selling is that he went froma 997S to a 997C4S....

Thanks for the heads up, Sharky.

Which Cargraphics is this? The mesh type?

Erm, is it me or did someone installed the 542s the wrong way? Better ask the bodyshop who installed those HREs for you to do it the right way. The left-hand side should be swapped over to the right-hand side! rotation direction is completely opposite to what it should be.
