My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I'm freakin jealous Ed. I've been contemplating getting a used one the last few months but I'm really torn between the M5 and the 997 TT. I really love having a 4-dr executive sports sedan that can out run most other sports cars on the road but there's no denying the power, speed and sportiness of that Porsche. I think the only way for me would to have both but that ain't possible. hahaha
Congrats man!!! That thing is utterly gorgeous!
As for the wheels, I know you ordered them already but I would probably consider something from Champion or even Dymag for that beast.

I have my wife's Jeep for hauling purposes. My 'fun' car has no need for storage or 4 doors.
I considered both of those wheels. The RG5's are great looking, but they come in weird fitments (11.5 rear??). Vendor was/is selling a beautiful set of black Dymags with custom offsets for a 997tt.....for $7000.....'discount' compared to regular retail, but I just couldn't stomach spending that much on only the wheels and no tires. Plus, if I ever curbed that CF.....cha-ching!!!!

I did see a Silverstone II E60 M5 yesterday while I was driving home (in my other car), and felt a twang of sentiment. It really was a great car.
