Those are 17'' repros, at 7.5 and 9'' They are strong enough for the track and are being pre ordered at 1000.00 a set delivered. This is a real deal and will get you into some nice tires.

Those are Yamaha black (gloss black) with a machine polished rim. Most people are buying the RSR finish or the polished spokes and rim with flat black inset. The traditional SC look will be a brushed silver rim with a flat black spokes and inset.

Thanks Moses.

I would absolutely have to go with the machine polished rim, gloss black centers (Petals and insets), a little different than stock, but on wider and large rims, better tires, fresher but still the right look.

Your Targa is beautiful, and the wheel selection perfect (IMHO) . I'm thinking of these for a Red/ Black Targa (with a tail of course).

What type of tires did you add, sizes...any fitment issues? Did you have to use spacers?

The targa I'm thinking of adding these to has been lowered to euro specs.

Mine is euro spec. Easy fit. No spacers.
