Smile New F110's on my 997S - w/ pics

I was tired of seeing the Kenisis F110's on "OTHER" people's cars....I had to pull the trigger. I will be selling my "second favorite wheels" (ie 19" OEM Classics) soon.











In case anyone is wondering, these are 19" wheels and the car is lowered on H&R's w/ rear 11mm spacers (nothing in front). No rubbing and very light, approx 18 pounds (sans tire).

Thanks to Alex at Shark Werks for convincing me to upgrade (it wasn't that hard of a decision once I saw them in person)!!

Nice wheels. Is it possible to put the colored Porsche center caps on them?

Yes, it is.....I have the colored ones and am thinking of buying some black Porsche logo caps instead.

They look incredible. I have one question though, why did you put spacers in the rears? I mean that is 11mm more lip you could have had if you just got a different off-set rim.. I do think you car looks sweet with the spring and wheels, gives a very aggressive stance.

I've always liked those rims, I just don't think I could go to 19" rims with the daily abuse they would take driving into NYC.

Good point that poeple forget...19 inchers and pot holed city driving dont mix very well....There are parts of washington d.c. that I avoid with my 997 due to giant pot holes...i have to take my beater car.........

Chris: Once again you have raised the bar on good taste.

Those wheels are awesome! Question: Have you done anything with respect to the stock brake pads? I think they spew way too much black "Kingsford charcoal" brake dust. It would be a shame to dirty up those beautiful F110's.
