What wheels are you going to use instead of the RUF wheels? Please let me know if I can help you with new wheels.

You may want to consider the Fikse Profil 10. Our wheels are forged and lightweight. I believe the prices are similar as well.

Hey ylonewolf, the car looks great and the look your going for is awesome, its one of my favorite conversions. I love the color of the car, so different and unique. Thanks for the feedback on the Zork tube, it looks mean back there. Enjoy it and have fun with all the popping and swooshing turbo sounds. Let me know when you are ready to do the headers, that will be the next big 30+HP and TQ wake up for the car. I will make you a sweet deal on the full kit with oil lines and everything.
thanks,

You should get a lightweight carpet kit from appbiz and RSA door panels to go along with the seats. Then you can dye the dash and door tops black to finish it off.

Nice build! Looking forward to more progress. What are you going to go with for fenders and bumpers? Will you keep the car the same color?

Great build! If you want light weight wheels the best out there are Champion , not the cheapest but the best.

I envy you swapping the seats. I still vow to this day that there is nothing more aggravating and frustrating than attempting to get at Porsche 911 seat bolts. What German idiot would make a ROUND-HEADED bolt in such an odd place where you can hardly get to them and apply any torque to them to even loosen them up is proof positive that a lot of Germans were smoking lettuce when they were designing parts of this car.

I ended up having to drill all my seat bolts out with a giant drill bit in order to crack them and loosen them from the seat and seat rails. Took me hours to do. Neighbors thought I was going to have to have the cops called on me for how much cussing I did in the driveway. All just to install an aftermarket stereo. Would never do it again. Never.

I think I broke the record that day for saying "you gotta be s**tting me" over 100 times.

Great build...Matte black..These wheels are pretty cool also on a RWB conversion...I do like the 2nd whell you had as a choice...on the color are you going to have a vynl wrap...your OEM color is rare that way you can always go back..I have a friend that had his TT300Zx vynled for 3 years held up really well..just a thought....I'm a huge fan of the RWB conversions..just look whicked

I had Work VSXX on my 964 turbo and they were light, strong and a PITA to clean. LOl

For your rear license plate treatment, you can get rid of those lights and fill the bumper. IIRC, a BMW 320i has a license plate bracket that had the lights built into it. It would clean up the back quite a bit.

That Ruf wheel is nice, but if you're interested, I have an unused Atiwe 930s wheel that is close to the color of your interior.
