They are MSW's Type 11. The wheels are slightly lighter than stock and fairly cheap as far as wheels go! You can look them up on tirerack.com

Parking garages seem to be like good places to make epic car pics.

eR1c,
The Cayman is an amazing machine in stock form and IMO much more superior in handling than the 997. It's fast but not enough for my tastes so it's currently up in MD having a turbo kit installed.

My car isn't as good looking as it was in the pictures a few pages back on this. We just had a hail storm, and now there are little dents all over it.

I hate mother nature!

eR1c,

-Not trying to hi-jack this thread (w/ the Porsche talk).

I love the way the Cayman's look, wow, didn't know they handled so well also...The turbo kit sounds awesome, you'll have one special Cayman. My 930 is getting a complete engine and transmission rebuild ...been at a Porsche race shop for the past month or so. It only has 22,000 original miles on it, yet putting all race and performance parts on and just decided to have it rebuilt while it's all apart (ARP head studs, performance exhaust, etc). ...I only have a 2 car garage that's what's mainly keeping me from getting another toy at this point. I really don't want to part w/ either of my vehicles. My 930 is just sweet, and I've modified my Mini pretty well. -I don't think people expect it to be as quick as it is. The people on these forums aren't the ones you encounter in every day life ....for most the mod's start and stop w/ a set of aftermarket tires or wheels. I hardly see modded mini's around town ...every now and then I see one.

Where did you put the 10" sub's? I am looking into replacing my fronts and either doing a sub in the rear or maybe doing sub's where the 6x9's are...not sure. I need to keep my rear trunk space for the most part.
