I absolutely love those wheels!!!! How well do they work? Ive heard some people have problems with 18"s. They look soooooo sweet. If i had to have aftermarket wheels, it would be those!!!!

That thing is sick. Pete is sick.

I got a free lunch at Hooters if you help me paint the 930/951 calipers. I already owe Wade some Hooters so we can just pay off everybody at once. I owe everybody its crazy. Im as worthless as two **** on a boar.

Pete, that looks too good man!

ps.. i now own a set of talbot mirrors, being shiped from the factory on tuesday, and will arive on friday, cost me over 192 a mirror.. not including shipping. im now officially broke... but they will be worth it. convex mirrors too for better field of visibilty.. expensive, but worth it.

i would love to paint my calipers, but as you can see.. old 911/2 brakes dont look anything like the brakes on the newer porsches.. i dont know if they could really be painted to be honest. (ps these are not my brakes.. these are off the 912R race car.. but same style.. so you get the idea)



Marlon.. polished fuchs are tasty..

bling bling yo...

(boy does she look different now!)

Brett, I'm pretty sure they are a cast rim. As far as price, I bought them used from another Rennlister. They are made in the UK and aren't available in a Porsche bolt pattern here in the states anymore.

Brian, don't do it, man. Being obsessive/compulsive about cleanliness, it will only add to the madness. And as I said before, it SURE is blingy.

Man, you know I's just razzin' ya! Being clean queer like you ARE, you'd LOVE some more shiny bits to love on with mild detergants and chamois cloths.

Uh, dude. You MISSED a spot. I can see it in your avatar...
