They look great! For posterity, please, can you take some measurements as out lined in this thread

Weights, tires and fitment issues would be good as well.

Joseph,

Yes, it's green (narrow)... avatar. Its paint is a bit tired and worn and it's really exciting to see a brand spankin' new one getting built. Between the wheels and that paint job there's plenty for me to look forward to. (I am a bit conflicted on the wheels, though. It would have been cool to see some bad-ass black fuchs on that car, but I can't blame you for going for the classic RSR finish either. I like it more than the polished-type.) Don't be bashful about posting pics, please.

Bill,
As soon as i get them, I will take some measurements. I did see the wheel chart you put together. Pretty cool.

Dave,
The reason I didnt choose black is that they tend to disapear from the car when its traveling. My brother has a mate black R6 that he races and the bike just blends in to the asphalt. The black fuchs will have to wait till my next Porsche which will be painted black.

LOL, I see you speak my language... when I find my (black) 993, it's getting black fuchs and a set of black fikses... I just haven't decided which ones will be the streetwear and trackwear.

Given tire availability, does anyone have experience using 7x16s up front and 17x9.5 or 10 in the back? What is the impact of using different sized wheels on a 911? There is a great blue '69 RSR conversion for sale in the cars classifieds that has this sort of setup.

Dave,
You mean like this! Took these shots a couple of years ago at streets of willow at a DE event. I liked the car so i took a couple of pics. I love the all black look for a street car.
