Beautiful car. I love brushed on white. Those other cars next to it don't even compare.

Rrrreallly Scooby? Ruh Roh!

It's funny, all I hear all day is "how much lip?" "How much lip?"
The current trend is definitely toward the "big lip" look.

20s look quite at home on the Turbo - dare I say they almost look normal!
Of course, the 997T comes with 19s stock, so it's plus one.

Looks great D!

Yup, I know I'm in a minority, but I still don't care for overly large rim lips. I think it's just silly and showy.

No prob here with the rim size.

There will always be those with contrary opinions and views, its what makes this world go round! The Techart wheel is so popular because of those that share your sentiment. I like the athletic, no-lip look on some cars, but on this one (with the wide hips), the large lip was a must! lol

These are not even as large as we can go with other companies (close to 5"!!!). I prefer the straighter face profile so these got the nod.
