I`m over the moon with the new GT3 wheels on the 996, supplied, refurbed and fitted with new Michelins by ChrisW @ Exelwheels :thumb:

The car actually feels transformed :D

He`s popped his 19" Carrera loan wheels onto my 987 Boxster S while he refurbs mine :thumbs:

Had a few issues with dodgy threads on the 996 wheel bolts and hubs, but I popped out and bought some taps and dies to remedy the situation and ChrisW is going to supply new wheel bolts when he comes to finish off the Boxster

What a thoroughly lovely bloke :worship:

Cheers matey :thumb:

Chris hiding between the 2 Porschas :



My babies almost kissing :



I`m sure Chris`s photos will do his work more justice than my smartphone piccys :grin:
 
:worship: :thumbs: :worship:
 
Thanks Alex, but it is all down to ChrisW really, and maybe a quick wash and polish of the cars after he had left :D

The quality of the refurb is simply stunning, unfortunately the light was failing after my exploits, but will post some close up photos probably tomorrow :grin:
 
Not you.

The emoticons were for Chris :wack:

Only joking. Everything looks FAB!! Bet it's a real challenge of a decision deciding which car to bob down for a curry.

996 everytime for me..........versus a Vespa or Golf :what:

I took the Boxster out for a blat tonight, she rides really well on the 19" Lobsters, no where near as harsh as I had imagined, mind you I didn`t turn the PASM on :lol:
 
Kris - they look great, really lift the car compared to the Turbo Twists and the grey centres provide good contrast.

For the result and Chris W! :thumbs: :thumbs:

These are the wheels she should have left the factory with and not the Original Turbo Twists that she was specced with :nooo:

So finally after 18 years of life, she is wearing the correct shoes to match her dress :D

The Michelins have transformed the car 1000%, she no longer scares the living daylights out of me at speed in a straight line and she behaves beautifully on the twisties when pressing on :lol:

Why on earth she was shod with Bridgestone Potenzas is quite beyond me :nooo:

I don`t think she needs her suspenders twanging now Chris, she drives beautifully on the new wheels and tyres, but I`ll book her in at CG just to get her checked over :D

"now all straight & looking spanking" :?:

They weren`t buckled were they ?
