It's just kinda where they are priced right now but on the flip side you ought to see the house I bought in Austin. I thought this one was sold but it fell through (the guys parents wouldn't lend him the money and he was like 50 years old) so I gave him his deposit back and wished him luck.

The problem with these wheels, IMO, is that T-bar 911's don't look right with large offset/little dish wheels. I also think Porsche shoulda made twists directional.

oceanvue

I think they look good and better than the Fuchs and perform much better too that's why I have them on instead. They are offset for the car

Ed Hughes

They just add extra metal/weight To what the factory made, to fit the t-bar offsets. There still is no dish, which looks clunky to my eye. But, it is your car, and you like them.

oceanvue

I like them because they're not dished and they fill out the form of the car and accent the curves and slopes of the body. I admit it is an acquired taste, I wasn't sure at first but I grew into them. I sold an early E to Frank Gallogly a collector out of the east coast once and I looked on his website and he had taken the deep 6's that I just had Al refinish and had twists on it not as rollers but on his website. I almost threw up

Those wheels look so wrong with that car, its the offset and the way many try and make it something its not, plus forged vs cast..no contest

Ah, thanks for the clarification. And the insult, too!




964 America Roadster = Turbo Look
993 C4S = Turbo Look
996 C4S = Turbo Look

It's so good to be educated by experts like you...I learn so much on this forum.

Now, educate me some more: tell me about the history of the Turbo Look. Where did it come from? Why did Porsche adopt the wide body? Did it come with any other features apart from fender flares, like uprated suspension or brakes? I'd really like to know...I don't know anything about these cars.

They should have given out a fake Rolex which each car that way you could roll down the interstate with your blow up doll wearing her cubic zirconium "freindship" ring with your toupee flapping in the wind

I'm always trying to figure out if they're on correctly. Does that mean only one side of the car is correct?



You Sir, are a regular word-smith

Ed Hughes

The vanes point in different directions on each side of the car. Not sure which way would be correct. They should've made lefts and rights, IMO, then the owner could determine their preferred direction.

its a nice looking car (i am partial to turbolooks)....wheels are a personal thing and while i would prefer
it with color match fuch's or better yet cups....i don't think that's an issue with the sale (p.p.i. would be).

are you also posting on pelican forums (porsche for sale)? wide following there.

you might want to consider doing a slideshow (via photobucket or somesuch)....with detail photos/interior/exterior/engine)....then just attach the link.

above all good luck with the sale & the relocation

Helios59

Now you're just being silly!

dshepp806

The wheels appear to "dynamic",..and require some "static" to them...while sitting still they look out of place, as if they're attempting to move,..while some real FUCHS would follow the car,..and appear to be stationary with the car..

..'tis a taste, for sure. But not mine.....like a poster stated,..you can change them quite quickly,..it's only money, right?

Best,

Doyle
