Beautiful car man!

Thats my next logical step after the EVO. I really want a Porsche... I will try my best and see if i can get a 911 Turbo, preferably the 997 or the 993... I am not a big fan of the 996 but if a find a pristine one i might do ti...

The 993 like yours, any 993, but especially the C2S or the Turbo are the most beautiful Porsches ever made!!!

Congrats and enjoy it!!!

Wow. Best of the air-cooled 911s, and a widebody to boot.

Congratulations.

The genuine turbo twists are hollow on the 996 turbo cars, about 1500.00 each for them. Porsche made that same wheel in a few other sizes, but not hollow so they are more affordable. The regular non hollow turbo twists might be common on the 98-Porsche cars but they are a great wheel. The C2S was the only car with the split rear grill, regular 993 guys love that look. Only bummer is standard brakes with black calipers, compared to turbo/turbo look C4S cars that have the bigger red calipers and rotors. You could look into a brake upgrade down the road and you'd be dialed. Nice car, 993's are a favorite of mine. Flush those brakes though, goo in the brake system can cause problems with the abs pump/solenoid system.

The reds are among the "down the road" additions. I'll be flushing the brakes once it warms up and will probably pick up a set of CCW Classics with a wider front tire to combat the understeer of the 225/295 Turbo Twist set.

I'll probably also eventually go to a linear rate spring and revalve the Bilsteins, adding RS drop links and potentially RS sway bars. It's really going to depend on how I like the feel of the current setup.

Very nice and congrats. I too like the wheels. Pics don't do justice. My ultimate car is an air cooled 911. Enjoy.
