I love seeing someone suffer in such a similar way to myself - almost allows me to justify my own self inflicted suffering :floor:
Soon as you start looking at wheels you also start looking at weights and geo set up, etc
- I came so close to a set of Mk2 GT3 wheels, as I love the look of them.... but those things are pretty damn wide and heavy!!!
Have you considered a set of 18" Carrera lightweights? - I kind of snubbed these at first, but they are clean and sharp looking (5 spoke) and I think(?) they even pan out as the lightest factory 18" wheels you can get....
I have a narrow body 996.1 and keep re-embracing its simple clean rounded lines.... dropping it 30mm below standard factory height on Ohlins makes it look like a damned speed racer with the Carrera lightweight wheels.... : )
- saying that, I came damned close to going full Ruf kit on it (they seem to be the only big "tuning house" that embraced the narrow body cars over the wide body) - in the end I opted for a set of their 'Sport mirrors' (which make my car even narrower and sleeker
).... and the price of which had the added bonus of reining in my ideas of a full Ruf kit!
