Awwww, keep it Porsche man!

There are still an awful lot of choices in terms of rims that have come original and on top of that you can treat them, polish, paint, powdercoat, chrome, etc.

Yeah, even my mechanic who has a 951 he imported from Japan, super low km's...he's doing a bunch of upgrades but he's sticking with MM's for now...they look great and they work fine.

Yes - when I can afford a set of Gembellas I'll get them! Until then, I think my MMs will be fine.

BTW - when I do get those Gembellas, they'll be 19s - how about that! Ha!

Hey man I've heard problems from people with 19's...they are almost too big and you actually lack performance with them...talk to Sami951 in Sweden, he had 19's and went back to 18's...

I was half joking - I think I'll be sticking to the MMs - otherwise my wife would have my nuts stuffed and mounted if I buy any more wheels!

There're all yours, I'll keep my 16" Fuchs, although I've been thinking of picking up a set of 17" 3-piece Fuchs for the street...













(yes, they do exist)

I thought that would get your attention, there's a few companies that take 16x6 Fuchs, cut out the centers and refinish and remachine them to make 16" and 17" 3-piece wheels in various widths, any offset.

Your wife's gonna be pissed!
