'90 S4.

ROH 'Modena' 3-piece alloys.
F: 18x8.5 ET 63. R: 18x10 ET55
T6 tempered centers.

Slightly lighter than the forged 'manhole covers'.

So I decided to change the color of my RH RAL's from Silver to Gunmetal.
Although I was offered a really good price on a top-end paint job (thanks KM!), I didn't want a permanent finish, in case I wasn't crazy about the look.
Learned all about Xytek and had them done in a removable, protective 'skin'.
I think they look much better on a black car.
..now to change those Big Blacks to Big Reds....

Unfortunately I won't be able to make Frenzy once again....due to my son having a hockey tournament in Pittsburgh.
I really need to get with those tournament organizers and have them change the date. Our event takes precedent for crying out loud.
Enjoy the weekend, Bertrand!

I have always thought that the Porsche designers and engineers knew better than anyone as regarding what looks and performs best on their automobile. These are my stock wheels and I like them better than any custom ones on these pages. In particular, I gag when I look at some of the horrible painted wheels. Guess I'm still back in the eighties when our cars came out.

They're 18" 2 piece RH RAL.
Fronts are 8.5" with a 60mm offset, which works well with our cars.
Rears are 10 with a 54mm offset.

Some pics on the car (feel free to gag, Bjbpe )
on my "next to do" list is Aero mirrors and clear side lights - in that order....

I'm in love with those!

Talk about perfect offsets to boot.

May I ask what they cost you?

Thx

They're quality 2 piece wheels made in Germany, so they weren't cheap.
RH lists them at $680 per for the fronts and $740 for the rears. It also says that they're NLA Don't know why. I don't recall paying quite that much for them, but it was close. They used to have a one piece wheel called the AL that looked like this



....but I'm not seeing that one anymore.
