    The car was delivered in February.
    For me, the car is absolutely perfect to drive.
    I`m really happy with my GT2.

    that's the nicest 997 i've seen yet! The black rims are a great contrast to the white exterior, and the GT2 wing and
    bumper are perfect! Even the number plate fits the picture, must be great driving such a machine..

    I envy you, enjoy it!

    Absolutely sick. I wish I had my own GT2 to post. But it would definitely look like that.

    Hi Mika,

    did you order the black rims through the Porsche's option catalog, or was the painting done afterwards ?

    From the pics I would say it is not OEM painting, which if I am correct is not competely black (outer "white circle") but I could be wrong.

    You are. Options for GT2 are either Black or Basalt coloured wheel rims with crested wheel centres. I was going for these myself but have decided now to stay with silver rims and GT2 motif wheel centres.
    Regards.

    Hello
    original order was black coloured wheel rims (see picture).
    I decide afterwards to change in completely black.

    i find the gt2 motif wheel centre a little bit too cheep for that car. The porsche logo wheel centre is beautiful.
