Thank Kurt,

Ya I had seen the same rim chromed on a red 986 and really really liked it, I figured it would still look good in silver too. Very pleased.

I put Fuzion tires on them, I think the ones I got are made by Bridgestone. Trying to get them broken in. I was going to go with the Hankook again since I was so pleased with them on my other rims, but figure what the heck try something else. The car handles noticeably better with the new rims, the rear tires are some what noisy because of the brand change, wider tire, lower profile...but they are new so I'll give them 300 miles.

The car did look funny in that first pic, I had jacked it up on a side hill so it was riding a little high. It is possible on flat that it is a little high in the front, could be the Bilstein HDs...need someone from a non-RoW 986 to send me some measurements so I can check. If it is it just a small amount, no big deal to me, handles great and looks sweet.

Cheers.
