I mounted a set of tires on those very wheels. I was surpised at how light they were for replicas. They really do look that good. Now, if I could just talk you into dumping those Kumhos

streckfu's951,
Your right the front center caps will not fit but the rears will.

Matt,
The Kumho's are the worst tire I have ever own. When they wear out I will be getting something else, possibly Fuzion tires, but for the moment they will have to do. P-Zero's are way out of my price range!!

The wheels are highline and are BBS LM replicas. I weighed the wheels and they were within a few pounds of the real BBS wheels. If I remember correctly the fronts were the same as the real thing but the rears were a few pounds heavier.

Where did you get them and how much (if you don't mind my asking)?

I fully agree with you! When I bought the black 968 last summer, it had Kumho's on it. Those tires can't wear out soon enough... They are awful!

Grind about 1/8" off the back lip of the cap retainer and it will snap into place just fine. I had to do this little mod to mine so they would fit my Rivas.

Car looking excellent as always!

Those pics give me a herman. I want my engine to look like that. What do I need to do to get it tha way? I want those two pipes in front too and my "turbo" black box thing in front gone. Everybody with a fast 951 has the two pipes and no black box. I want two pipes.

What kind of springs you running. They wrap those big tyres well.
