Gorgeous. I'll look for you in the Bay Area!

There was another color similar to that for sale out in Livermore. But the interior really makes your pop, IMO. The other had a grey interior and it looked washed out to me.

Anyway, nice car, and nice drive, I hope. I've had my 996 for a little over two months, and the 17 mile drive/Monterey are high on my list of to do's.

Yes, you will really enjoy driving your 996 on the 17 mile drive; and don't miss out on a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway along Big Sur; fun sweeping curves. BTW, your Ocean Blue is also a very nice color on the 996!

Default Gone retro

I like this clean/simple look better than the Momo chrome wheels the previous owner went with.

That's the first pic of the TE37SL on a porsche I've seen.
It looks like the lip is not as deep as mine.
Is that to get more brake clearance?

Your wheels really look good with the white exterior.

I like the Work Meister S1 3 piece love the look, but I don't know how a Japanese wheel would be on a german car.

The other wheels I have been looking into lately are Rotiforms I love Concave!!! There is the matte grey 996 C4S with red wheels, that got me looking into Rotiform but I am really liking their 3 piece concave snowflake style rim in the gunmetal grey color.

3 Piece Super Concave
If you sell the Work wheels lmk

Wheels look too big/gapey for my tastes, but is that a paint job or wrap. If the former, what color's that?
