Got New Shoes!!!

So I finally got my 17" 911 10-spoke rims mounted and they look great. I couldn't be happier. They just barely clear the calipers without spacers, but are the exact same size as my stock 17" rims. What do you guys think? Was it worth $600 to change the entire look of the car?

I like them a lot! At one time I was looking for those exact wheels for my 986. I like the 10-spoke style in general and settled on another 10-spoke design.

Enjoy!

VERY nice! I like those so much more than the turbo twists.

Thanks for the comments guys!
Today I went and bought all the stuff to paint my calipers for under $30. The calipers show through so much more with these rims that I think it's finally worth the time to paint them red.
