I love what you have done to your C2S, The RH wheels look Superb and compliments the front GT3 Lip perfectley. Honestly All you need are some Sport lowering springs say H&R for that aggressive stance.

Nice wheels and bumper. Any scrapping? Notice any aerodynamic issues?

thanks. yes, and no.....yes there has been some scraping...you can see it if you look closely, and no...no aerodynamic issues i have noticed..but i dont track my car. the lip spoiler is pretty cheap to replace though. GMG caries them for just under 200 i think.

Very nice, I like how clean they look. And the spokes look easy to clean.

One of the reasons why I kept the standard Carrera S Lobster wheels was their weight. They were the lightest of the bunch that Porsche offered.

Do you know off hand how much front and rears weigh? I bring my car to the track and unsprung weight is important to me thats why I'm curious.

Anyway congrats looks very nice!

Yes. The fronts are 26 lbs and the rears are 28 lbs. The lobster forks are just over 22 lbs. in the front and just under 28 lbs. in the rear.

So, not but about 4 lbs. of unsprung weight added in the front. I looked at the Champions which are significantly lighter than stock, but just didnt like the styling as much. I dont track my car, so its no big deal for me.
