This is all Tim Wasmer's fault.

Nice wheels Greg. What size/offsets did you end up getting?

Are those Techarts? They look like 19s.

Techart Formula 8.5 x 19 et 48 and 11 x 19 et 52. That's a narrow body size. I haven't decided whether to use a 7mm spacer or a 14mm spacer. It looks like either will fit.

Nice legs in that avatar there Mark.

You have to watch out for Wasmer. He is nothing but trouble. Made me do a bunch of stuff to my car too.

Those wheels are sharp!

I like the wheel, but I gotta be honest...I think the 19" wheel is out of scale with the 993. Just MHO.

Greg: You may want to go with the 14mm spacer and whatever you do, don't use hubcentric. Get the regular ones and use the longer studs. Great wheels.

greg,

car and rims looks great...is that a TT or S?

also, what height is that. I really like the way it sits.

Firstly, I think Iris Blue is one of the best Porsche colors all-time.

On the other hand though, I think your 5-spoke rims in your sig are too stubby looking; those step-down outer-rims to meet the center just don't do it. Just MHO.

I have to agree. There are far nicer wheels to set off the 993 than some 19 inch Tech Arts...
