Default 964 Owners...Braid Wheels

I know of one owner who put them on his slantose, I was wondering
if any of you have put a set on your car

As a 996 owner, I'm considering a set as I really like the look, my biggest concern is that I'd have to run a spacer on the front

a bit pricey, but they are the best reproduction of the Fuchs style wheels
I've seen (I suspect this a licensing issue)
http://braidusa.com/Wheels/Comp/BZ/BZ.htm



I have verified that they are not as white as in the p'shop above, but the amount of dish is my concern

any experiences ?

No experience here with the Braid setups but I have 17" Fuchs on my 964; 7" fronts, 9" rears, no spacers needed. http://www.fuchsfelgeusa.com/

If you can want to spend a bit more, go for the Zuffenhaus/Fikse wheels that can be custom ordered to your specs. These are the same wheels used on the Singer 964's. http://www.fikse.com/wheels/specialty/

There are several PRC members running Braid 16" wheels on their race cars. Well built and light. No issues with race use.

I looked into Braid for a while but settled for 18" BBS E88's in the end. Lightweight and one of the best looking wheels for the 964.
