No , definitely not , they'll never go , so it's no use even trying . Just put it out of your mind now, there's a good fellow.

Hey Robin - good question mate - have had the same thought myself, but you've beaten me to the C4S

There is a 996c4s in classifieds with 997 turbo alloys! sorry don remember the link. THink it was on here for around £40k.

My first question is "Why oh why?" those wheels are fugly

And as for the yellow calipers - I think the carbon disks are bigger than the big red disks you have already, so whilst you may be able to do it its probably a real pita.

My second question is "Why oh why?" On a C4S you already have big reds, iconic brakes in the Porsche pantheon, almost certainly more powerful than you need already, why add even bigger calipers? If you must have yellow calipers then I suggest:

Step 1. remove your existing Big Red calipers
Step 2. source a set of standard black calipers from a cooking 996
Step 3. paint the black calipers yellow
Step 4. fit your (now yellow and looking like new) calipers on your car
Step 5. give me your Big Reds

On reflection you may prefer to move step 1. to after step 3.

1. Lexus lights belong on a Lexus.
2. M3 mirrors belong on a M3.
3. 997 wheels belong on a 997.

If you want 997 wheels (any why not?) then buy a 997.

cheers all,

i just want better looking wheels and better brakes, i have just left a MAJOR modded M3 and find the brakes a bit poo, hence bigger brakes....AGAIN!! for the 5th time!! and i fancy the 997 wheels as i think they look better!... (IMHO)
