    New Wheels!

    Hello everyone,
    I guess I was a good driver this year, because Santa brought me some massive Champion Porsche 19 inch wheels for Christmas! I took some pics for your viewing pleasure.

    I am not a big fan of many after market wheels since I view them as a very expensive option which I cannot see and would hardly feel while driving my car. Your wheels are gorgeous and might lead me to change my view.

    Looks great, one thing though, your car looks so high of the ground

    Re: New Wheels!

    About the height, I am currently inquiring about lowering the car at my dealer. Any suggestions on how to go about this? Do I need to purchase after market lowering springs?

    And about the center caps.....I need to fix those, I was in such a rush to put on the wheels, that I completely disregarded aligning them.

    Thanks again!
