    Cool pics.

    The 996 aint a bad looking car but those pics just drive home how gorgeous the 930 is !

    it looks so much more epic than the 996

    The 930 just looks so much more aggressive.

    Hey, Pete. Fantastic pics. The 930 looks super aggressive from the rear. Those rear Fuchs look wider to me. Are those 11 x 17's? Lindsey's perhaps? I was thinking of possibly moving my rear 16's to the front and sending my fronts to be converted to 17's... Any thoughts? Regards, Rob : )

    jeff alton/zuffenhaus 17x11 on the rear and 16x8 on the front. i wanted to have a bit of a 934/5 look with the staggered wheel size.

    if you have 9's on the rear, they will not work as they are offset incorrectly to fit on front. i had my stock 7" widened one inch on the inner barrel. the performance is great and the look is really great. i am very pleased.

    the zuffenhaus wheels are incredible!!!

    thank you all for the nice comments!!

    2003 996 tt x-50 w/ tubi exhaust. 10.6k miles and very quick.

    1987 930 turbo w/ 40k miles. fairly stock appearing but the engine and suspension was heavily breathed on by andial when i had the car out at my place in san diego. it is a screamer!

    996TT gets no love.
    Too bad. It just looks similar to the normal 996 but it is a different car.
    In X-50 form, with exhaust and reprogram, its the affordable everyday Supercar.

    Beautiful cars Pete.

    But, shouldn't the title of this thread be "A Tale (TAIL) of Three Turbos"?!

    What are those rims on the 996tt? Don't look like stockers.

    I can attest to this. That car just plain hunkers down and scoots. :)

    hi tim,

    i think i recognize you from pelican? at any rate, the offsets are nicely done and i was able to lower, align and cornerweight the 930. i have no rubbing while accelerating, braking or cornering.

    the rear wheels fit perfectly uner the lip of the rear fender!

    best,

    pcb
