Default Finally got my wheels on my Turbo 996!!

I finally got my wheels after waiting nearly 3 months. They were custom made by Vellano Wheels and features a staggered look with a about a 4.5 inch lip at the rear. I'm running with 315 tires in the rear which is super-wide.

I love the look.

Take a peek. It is posted on the Vellano web site.

I just purchased the car a few months ago so really have not had the chance to make mods to it. I started with the wheels which set me back a lot of $$). There was already suspension work done to it and coilovers from the past owner. You can tell by how the car sits low with only about a .5 inch or less gap. I am in the process of ordering a new exhaust system. That's about it.

Any good recommendations on what good mods to do? intake, etc?

I personally prefer to use an established shop for the technical support if needed. Imagine auto and evolution motorsports seem to be well-known. I imagine there are other places in Florida (isn't that where you are?) that have a good rep. You may find other suggestions on forums.rennlist.com This site seems to be a lot more active and, as such, I'm moving over there. Best of luck!

Very sexy, a good set of split-rims always makes any car look cool!
