Michel , not very wise to put that on a public forum , I pity the poor sod who will do the rego that you are trying to fool because if you get pinged again ( possible ) , the poor sod who did the rego will risk having his world crashed down on him and he will not know why , I have been doing regos in NSW since 1981 & I take this very seriously because of the ramifications that the RTA will do

If your worried about repercussions why not take pictures of the car as presented to cover yourself? How are you Or anybody being fooled as you can only evaluate the car as presented and what happens to it after that is out of your control.

Which is a standard requirement of licensed RWC testers in VIC.

Yep just had a car RWC’d.  Wouldn’t pass because wheels had spacers to clear the calipers.  Borrowed different wheels, the RWC Tester passed it, photographed the whole car as required.  We changed the wheels back at the workshop next door and drove off with the RWC.  Our risk not his.

This is interesting, are they rejecting all cars with spacers? Even ones that had them from factory? My 991.1 had factory spacers on it. When I sold my Holden Redline a couple of months back they rejected the car because of the supercharger I had installed. Lucky for me I had it engineered and compliance plate was on the car that the RWC tester ignored during the initial check. RWC testers dont pull punches its their livelihood.

Factory fitted are acceptable (as they would have already passed ADR in the first place). 

Of course, you could have to provide proof that they are factory fitted. So verification from a dealer, or a Porsche Build Data sheet.

 One of the first things the inspector checked here in SA on my SC was whether it had wheel spacers, as he knew 930 Turbo's have them. They all should/would be clued up with regards to which car has spacers factory fitted.

Got a local LaD to loan wheels and a hoist .. now to strip the window tint or find an alternate measuring tool, to ensure the testers tool is calibrated .. 

otherwise any recommendations for a good window tint shop in the ACT REGION or Sydney appreciated as will have tint put back on  

[michel]

Met up with @st3ve today and did a wheel swap. Lovely fella whose got a great hoist !!!

 

.. klaus aka Betty is looking sweet if a little gawky in a set of std 18’s 

Strip door tint in morning and rego resolved before midday ..  in time for the wee Jasper run ?

Nice to meet you Michel, a really nice and interestingly modded 996 you've got there.

It's amusing to see how small 18's can look on a car now days.  "When oi were a lad" and terrorising the ACT in my RX4 Simmons 15's were the absolute dream wheel.  They would look hilariously tiny on a 996!

[Merv]

I actually like 18's on the cars.  My 996TT has 19s but 18's would be fine.  The ride is better and the grip also. I have a dislike of large rims with the tyres almost painted on.  They ride like boards. Now Michel, which company  is your insurer? Sounds like they are obliging.
