Need wheel advice
I would like to find some new wheels for my 1987 911, amd I would like to find some with a fairly healthy negative offset. Does anybody know of some nice looking options I can explore?

Lindsey Racing makes 2-piece wheels with Fuchs centers. You can run 8x10x17 (or 8x9.5x17) wheels under Carrera flares with 225/275 rubber.
Here are some in RSR finish being test-fitted on an SC/Carrera flared early car:
And here's a side view of the same type of wheels with the early-style finish on another SC/Carrera-flared early car:

Take a look at Fikse (www.fikse.com), Kinesis (www.kinesismotorsport.com), HRE (www.hrewheels.com), or any of the other build-to-order wheel makers. Once you find a design you like, they'll make up almost whatever offsets you want (some wheels, like the HRE Fuchs look-alike can't be made into 1990+ later offsets).

Burning Brakes
I'm not familiar with ROH wheels. Judging by their prices at Group A I would guess they are comparable to the Mille Miglia wheels that Tirerack sells. Is this correct?

Throw your rear wheels on the front and go. 7/16 in front work great... going to 8" is really overkill for a street car IMHO...
Good pair of Turbo wheels will set you back $1000 +/-
