Default Porsche 996TT feat D2FORGED VS1's, 4.5 rear lip!!

Hey guys, these are just some preliminary shots we took in the garage the day we got the wheels on. We'll get some official shots soon.

A little background:

When the owner of the car got in touch with us he expressed the fact that he wanted AGGRESSIVE fitments. He wanted the widest width (front and rear) and largest lips.....sounds like our kinda guy! lol

Typically these cars run:

19x8.5 - 2.0" lip
19x11.5" - 3.5 or 4" lip

These wheels are

D2FORGED VS1
Brushed Aluminum Face / Chrome Lip
19x9.5" - 2.5" lip
19x12" - 4.5" lip


Makes full lock to lock turns, fully driveable. Its going to be lowered a little more in the front too!

Remember where you saw it first! :clap::clap:

Looks great on that car, aggressive but not too flashy. I like this a lot.

the only Nova i'd drive(proudly) is a 67 SS... but i agree with you, that body style is pure poop!

Perfect fit and stance, I'd rather a polished face myself for a silver car though.

I like the big-lipped rear wheels for this application. It really shows off the wide body, staggered wheels/tires, rear-engined configuration IMO. Car is intentionally unbalanced (being rear-engined) with hardware for massive grip in the rear.
