So I bought my 993 about 2 years ago, I've always wanted one. The car came from Texas and is a perfect Black on Black. I couldn't justify the price of an S model which is about 1 3/4" wider in the rear with identical performance etc. For another $20K + I couldn't push my wife's good nature. The car came with Turbo Twist wheels which I have never cared for. They looked good, but I like something with a bit of lip, dish, concave what ever you want to call it. I'm also trying to make the car as stock looking as possible as I think the car is somewhat of a classic. So I ordered a set of Speedline RH wheels, they came on December 24th, Merry Christmas to me. Yesterday the weather was nice so I called up the local tire shop and was able to get in. The roads were wet as it had rained so the car does need a clean up and I've put it back under the cover likely for the balance of the winter. Anyway, here's a quick pic in the driveway.....I think the wheels make it look really planted and aggressive I'm really happy with the look.

Me too, I bought my wife a Planet Ocean a few years ago. She loves the orange bezel and strap and the big chunkily look. My problem is I have the attention span of a squirrel and way to many interests. Watches, stereo's, cars and boats to name a few. Then there's the whisk(e)y, cigars and guns......thank god my wife is complicit and understanding.

man those r7's are expensive, been running hard wired v1's in my vehicles for years. I know they out perform the V1 but do I really need a four mile warning?

I know. I have also been thinking about an R3 too, but I like the R7 better overall. I got the R1 because I didnt think I needed the GPS lock out but I hit like 5 false K bands on the way to work and they annoy the crap out of me. The R1 does work great though, saved me from getting a ticket yesterday.

The R7 has so many options to customize, it’s a mini-computer.

My local cops still run K band sometimes. So maybe the r3 would be right for me.
