      hahahaha, appreciate the feedback gents!

      -The tips are approx. 7" wide
      -The bubbles you're seeing is prob. dust or the logo under the vinyl, but there isn't any bubbles from where I'm standing
      -I threw on the 2.2.2's because real deal TE37's are one of the only other sets of wheels I've wanted to try on, but they don't make them that aggressive in 5x130. They're actually rather flat faced. So I figured, Varrstoen sells wheels that have the exact same look for vending machine pricing and wayyy more aggressive than what Volk offers. Varrstoen also happened to offer offsets that worked perfect with adapters for my car so I thought, EASSYY, and pulled the trigger on a set
      -About taking off a wrap..I had my car wrapped flat black before and had no problems ripping off the wrap from the OEM paint, but if you have aftermarket paint, it would be your best bet to slowly take it off while blow drying it throughout the process to not rip off the paint as well..
      -I would have included a side shot but the sun was blasting through the lens glaring up the shot and I didn't have enough time to wait for the sun to set a bit more..


      Cheers!

          996's will be my least favorite 911 for some time to come, then again I don't own any Porsche so...

          really digging the color on this though but why would you wrap instead of paint? I don't understand the choice I guess

          some rays would look hot, same style, and be more fitting for the armani suit

              God, this thread is full of massive facepalm material; but certainly not in the OP!


              If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

              Your blast pipes look stupid.

                  after having some "non-brand" rims falling a part when I was over 90 miles on a expensive car, doesn't matter how they look, safety and quality always comes first.

                  By the end of the day you still have a 996 and I pretty sure you don't drive that thing slowly...lol

                  on the other side the color looks great, and you have a great taste, keep it up with the great project

                      the facepalm for me isn't the wheels it's the horrendous headlights of a 996. i see 911 in the title and i get excited. i find a 996 and i barf
                      Hatchbacks, wagons... It's NOT all the same. You want in? Don't get a mazda 3, get a mazda 6 wagon. Don't get a wrx get a legacy wagon. and theres a reason the A3 isn't called the A3 avant... Scion does not make a wagon it makes a weird van, but no wagons

                      Sincerely,

                      P.S. Is your tail a wagon?

                          love this car.

                          as for people ****** on the wheels he could have done worse... the varrstoens are actually a pretty decent wheel whether they are a rep or not. but i would love to see a nice 3pc wheel on this thing!
