They are 19” and I think they are the standard 997.2 Carrera S wheels.

Why did you get the H7's? Do you have the cornering light option?

And have you experienced those Philips D2S's already? Webshop keeps reminding me they're in my shopping cart

Yep, exactly. I have the cornering lights and that’s what came up as required. I installed them and all good. I haven’t taken pictures yet but its brighter and clearer. Not sure its 150% as claimed though.

I wasn’t going to do clear corners but finally came around on them.

Check out Apex wheels. They have some great looking 18” options that I have been considering due to the local road conditions.

I'm curious to know how much those cost you?
I walked into the local P dealer last week, and asked if they had them in stock. Surprisingly she said yes.
List price for the pair was $66. Since I was a P Club member, I got them at a discounted price of $48.

That’s about what I paid. I got them for $49 with tax from Gaudin.

im getting ready to purchase the same bulbs… how do you like them now that you have had them for about a month? I have a tinted windshield and I hope this will help a little.

I still like them and think they look good for an HID bulb.

The QJ label should be at the other end when lifting a 911 or any rear engine car. Label should be under the heaviest part of the vehicle.
