Just got my wheels in (18x8" replica Pegs). Car is not clean but took a few pics for show.

Wheels came from IPD. 43mm offset. Had to put 5mm Spacers on front. Back-end had plenty of space.

I'm with ya on that Greek. I'd like to see it a bit lower myself. From what I've read though, lowering a 960 isn't gonna happen without a serious cash outlay. Too bad. I could lower it a few inches and still have plenty of clearance.

I plan on painting the grey stripe at the bottom white. That may give a bit of illusion to the height.

actually, if you painted it white i think it would make it look taller. either way, it's a stunning piece. about you speakers in the dash, are there tweeters in there also? and how much weight did the noise mats add to the trunk area?

Just the tweeters that sit atop the speakers. Coupled with 800 Hz bass blockers. Besides the 6"x9"'s, those little 3.5's have made the most noticeable difference. Those little speakers are powerful...

As for the mat. It didn't add that much weight. I've used about 9.5 sheets on the car and I'd say it added 35lbs. total.

What?! That's killing me! I am die to love your wheels.
I just replaced all the tires with ContiProContact the day before yesterday, the wallet is too flat to upgrade the rims and tires, how sad...
It really looks good even though the heigth.
I saw a white S90 with white stripes bottom on ebay long time ago (couldn't find the pics now), it looks very nice, I am sure you will satisfied. Just do it!
My car is gold, I want to paint the bottom stripes too.
