Mr. Jones Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Always been a fan of the 997.1T wheels: http://i.imgur.com/OLUAFd9.jpg You should get some, to please me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Love the car, hate the wheels. all that matters is that you like them though. Yeah, after that round of maintenance I'm lucky I got some wheels. I picked up this set locally for really cheap, just the rear tires alone worth more than the asking price so I can't complain. They are not my favorite, but better than the curbed stockers Always been a fan of the 997.1T wheels: http://i.imgur.com/OLUAFd9.jpg You should get some, to please me. Hehe, thank you. As soon as I pick up some real wheels you can have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I was not a Porsche fan until I joined this forum. Growing on me every time, sexy car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I like them, but would've loved to see a more aggressive offset slightly, especially in the rear. Regardless, I'd take a 911 Turbo with Ronal Bears. :thumbup::megusta: You da man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just pay Andy He's more than welcome to make a donation but the only detail work I'm doing these days is on my own cars It's funny the lobster claw's are the most hated Porsche wheel in recent history but you throw them on something other than a standard 997 carrera and they look pretty darn good. I'm with Clay in that they probably need spacers to look a little more aggressive both front and rear (front offsets are different on 997 cars) but they still look pretty good.

Buteo Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Great looking car. I'm not a huge fan of those wheels, but if you like- that's all the really matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I personally love the lobster claws on the 997 and boxters. Can't say I love them on the 996 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my E55 I also had the Ksports coilovers and that set have more than 10k miles. The rides is night and day better than the stock Porsche unit.

Forrest Gump 9 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Here's the reason why you need to clean out the radiators on these cars. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/david_pham2/image_zpscklhi9kd.jpg There are THREE radiators on the car. One right, one left, and one center. The right and left with their ductings are acting like vacuums, sucking up everything and store them in the ductings.

Forrest Gump 9 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 #Frstwrldprblms It's more like REAL PROBLEM if you don't do it. Car can and will overheat on a hot summer day. Corrosion can ruin the radiators. Just saying, still learning about this car. Definitely not one to fuck around with the maintenance stuffs.

RyM3rC Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Nope. Price replacement radiators if you haven't- very expensive. If you point a hose up in there you can flush the debris to the bottom of the duct, then scoop it out with your hand as well. porka problems LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just having fun with ya...but thought to look at good ol' cheap RockAuto...figuring you have 3 radiators and an A/C condenser there...well over $1200 at least!
