i love the ssr gt3 rims......

i have driven my car with 17z lowered and 19z lowered. i don't see any difference other then having to watch what i drive over. but i'm sure that if
i had nice 17z i would do the same.

handling with 19z lowered 1 inch....amazing handling....far better then 17z lowered.

looks, i could of probably put 20z on the car, but the porsche race team down the street would of killed me. on the 986 the biggest that you can go is 19. the bigger rims as everyone here says takes away from the looks of the car. not true...the 19z just make the car look more mean and gives it a totally different look.

if i had the new 987 id put 20z for sure. most of the porsche mags have 997s and 987s sitting on 20z.

I have spoken about this recently here but I do love the handling and appearance of my 19" rims even at the stock height...it would be nice to lower it a bit but I have no current plans to do this at the moment.

Good luck with your new set up!
