Cheers for the comments lads. My personal preference on wheel colour on dragon green is darker greys and obviously I went for bronze. I personally think silver, white and black don't look very good. It's half the reason why I moved the compomotives on as I didn't like them in silver as it was too much of a contrast against the green. Splits are another ball game with colours though. LOL

Cheers lads. Got the headlights on now too.... Beading in the Rain by outHOUSEpics, on Flickr

Thought I'd do an update... Not been on here for a while due to work commitments etc, but will probably be browsing a bit more now show season is around the corner. Anyway, since last time, the car has had its new wheels and tyres on. Went for Toyo T1R's again. Thinking of changing them yet again though even though I am happy with them.

Picked the wheels up from the bodyshop earlier.... Box Fresh and Bronze by outHOUSEpics, on Flickr

Cheers dude. Never heard of any Cayennes running staggered fitments, especially 9 inchers. I know of the multispoke Cayenne wheels you may be thinking of though. A guy I know in Austria has told me that he has seen loads of 996's running these over there.

Braved the cold today and trialled the wheels. 17x9 ET20 Rear and 17x7 ET25 Front. Need to get tyres on and send them to the bodyshop next week for paint (BMW Sepang Bronze/Silber) and paint the adaptors black. Got about 5mm poke at the rear and the fronts are tucking, which is exactly what I wanted. Trial Fit by outHOUSEpics, on Flickr Poke and Tuck by outHOUSEpics, on Flickr

Cheers for the replies guys and gals, its much appreciated. Wheels..... Porsche BBS..... by outHOUSEpics, on Flickr I tried to find some information on these last night, but after a few hours of searching I found nothing. The only bit of information I could find is that one website has them listed for 2002 996's only, which seems very strange as most 996's run a minimum of 18's? Searched through every Boxter on Pistonheads, and couldnt find 1 wearing these, however it is looking like they may actually be 996 Winter wheels, which I guess is quite appropriate considering the current weather, ha

Well, thought it was about time I made a thread after lurking on here for ages only really keeping an eye on the classifieds section. Story started earlier this year when I was looking for a mint MK3, either 8v, 16v or VR6, whichever was in best condition and wasn't fussed on 3 or 5 door as condition was more important to me. Anyway, whilst working down in London, a dragon green VR came up with 48k on the clock. Immediately I thought it was a good punt, so I ripped the guys arm off for it and drove it back up to Sheffield from Kent after finishing work on a Friday night. As soon as it was home

Thanks for the input guys. I have ordered the wheels, et30 17x8. They should hopefully not take too long to machine so I can have them before Elsecar. Cheers for the input. Will

Thanks for that. I was hoping to get 205 40 toyos on there. It hasn't been lowered yet, and a bit of arch work isn't a problem. But I am looking at a koni kit and want to lower it around 40mm. Would getting them as et35 still fit, or will they hit the struts or brakes do you think?
-
As above, spotted some wheels, and can choose offset (et15-30 odd I think), but ideally I wouldn't want to do any arch work. Any advice appreciated. Cheers Will
