Agree on the nice stance, it looks great but I'm partial to the smaller diameter wheels (unless you have big reds...). I have a set of 15'' bbs mesh wheels (7's & 8's) that I am debating on refinishing and putting on my 74 when it's finished being restored as I haven't found a set of good 15" fuchs at the right price. It seems the 16's are everywhere....at very good prices.

The brake calipers are black on Ruby, but they're big!

I run 993 calipers all around, 309 x 32 mm rotors up front and stock rears. If I ever get my rears to wear, I'll run 930 rotors in the rear.

Nice. I'm forcing restraint upon myself to leave that fun stuff for the track car when I have time to put her back together. Had a set of S4 calipers that I thought about putting on this car, but she will stay stock for now.

Just curious, Ed, what do your wheels weigh?

Nice!

I get tons of life out of my brakes and they never fade. But I try to not use them(horsepower challenged).

I get so many track days out of my pads now, it should be a crime.
