    After a few calculations and a few fitment tests I've decided on fitting the 219M wheels. They give approximately 3mm of clearance from the spokes and plenty of clearance on the barrel. I'm a little bummed on having to swap out the Style 65's, but it's a good feeling these will fit without spacers and without the need to use concentric rings, being 72.6mm.

    Here's a few pics of fitting them up with the 345mm CSL rotor and the Porsche brakes in the front.









    Below are some pics of the last trip I went on with the old wheels... i'm going to miss them dearly, but my desire to keep moving supersedes being content without trying... so the sacrifice isn't in vain.

    New 996 brembos on. New wheels on. Looks better than I thought it would.

    Slapped on some ricey decals on the brembos. Went with black instead of white to keep it a little more subtle.

    Jesus Man, lucky you dont have to have reduction and screws put in the heel. I have seen quite a few, but not this bad.
    Where are you hurting?

    I actually had plates and 13 screws installed during surgery.... It sucked!

    Hey! I want to upgrade m brakes to the exact same setup! I do worry it’s a little bit to much of a rear biased setup. Can you confirm this or do you like it as it is?
