    Original 7R rim. Had to use a 15mm spacer to compensate for the offset to the inside.

    Good to know! Strange, from the photo in post #83 it looks like the rim extends more outside past the petals for the rear wheels than the front wheels, but maybe it's the angle.

    I think the angle, but also the rims were redone with a narrower paint band to highlight more of the width/depth. Both front and rears were done that way. Not technically correct, but why hide the deep sixes!

    I'm glad that you're using USA-spec red rear lenses as they look very nice. I don't know why many 911 owners in America change their lenses to Euro-spec amber.
    Amber is not as nice looking.

    ^^^^ just a minor form of customization. I’ve always thought they look neat on my car! To each his own…

    Matter of taste, but I like the USA spec.

    Finally got Recaro buckets installed.

    Switched out the Sport + Comfort seat combo for matching set of Recaro Rallye 1’s.
    Technically 70/71, but I like these, and they are WAY lighter than the Sport seat + Comfort combo.

    How common / rare are leather comfort seats for a 72? Build sheet states leather with perforated centers.
