Okay guys,

I've been in and out of the forum for awhile now and I really need some help here. I've decided that I'm bored with the 550 and I want to get back into the Porsche game with a 997/996 turbo and finish my 951 project. Should I go ahead and put on M5 19" wheels/tires as i had planned or keep the stock 124s on the car? Any advice is welcome, I just got married on the 12th of May and finally decided she looks better in the 550 than I do, plus what else was I supposed to get her for her belated 21st birthday?



Thanks in advance guys,

Gabriel

Congrats!!!! Seams money is no object with you so...let her decide if she wants to keep it or move on as well. My advise for your future ref: Don't ever let her know you're bored with something that is hers!!!! You could end up in the bird house!!!!
