Looks good, get some spacers to step the rears out a little.

like the look, .75 inch spacers for the rear should do it.

Tim,
They're Sam Grant's powerdercoated Kinesis Supercups. I don't remember the price offhand, though; sorry.

You call that close?



The rims look nice. Why did you go so skinny in the rear?

The only thing I would change is the tire size. Aren't 215's the recommended size?

Tim.. you may be able to bolt them up at 944fest to see if you like them..

They are beautiful wheels- It's a really nice job of powdercoating..

Nice looking "period" wheels. There is plenty of brake caliper clearance there, you should get a look inside my front wheels when I have the 16" Fuchs on there and the rubber bleeder valve cover is so close to the inner rim that you can't even get a piece of paper between them.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Campeck, your car is looking familiar to me...

See a resemblance?

Wayne. Tifo has 400# coilovers..FWIW, if I had a red 944 I'd be going for Tifo's "ClubSport" as well..

Thanks for the nice comments!

Yep, it has the stock t-bars in the rear, re-indexed with 400lb KLA coilover units. Fronts are Paragon ARHK's with 400lb springs and Koni yellows. There are also a "few" other things that have been done to it suspension-wise........

yes.
lowering is indeed the next step.
as tifo once said it looks like a 4X4.

well. I REALLY liked the rims. and since they were on ebay we really had no choice to pick our tire size.
Dad said wear these tires out and we will get fatter ones. but the fattest that will fit will be 225. still a little on the skinny side to what I'm used to.
Auto-X will be SO CRAZY now. the car is going to be going everywhere.....It will be quite the ride!

Looks good. Definitely get some spacers on the rear and fill those fenders.
