Default WHeel Swap?

since i am the trade master, i figure why not. I have four 17" boxster twists on my '89 944 n/a (late offset) w/ "new" firestone sz50's on them, 255 and 215's. Wheels are painted black, ds front tire has some marks on the very edge of the sidewall where it rubbed the fender once. I am looking for some cup rims, some 16" forged d90 looking rims-yeah right- or something interesting to put on my car as these are just my cruising wheels. Finish and tires are 9 out of 10, just need a good cleaning. I do NOT want to trade for early offset wheels as i dont like skated wheels sorry, late wheel trades only, dont need to be 17" but preferably 16/17".

i DID have some d90's, till i sold them. I want some forged turboS wheels but that will never happen. I really like petes old wheels the cup2's or something. Ill prob. end up like tifo w/ a wall of wheels eventually.

I don't know if you've seen, or what year car they are from, but at the bottom of this thread someone mentioned they have D90's for sale..

Heh. I doubt anybody here has me beat. I currently have 6 full sets for mine. And that doesn't include wheels for other cars. I have a wheel problem.

Wade may be able to be talked out of his polished OEM's from the 951.. He's kinda been hinting.

You just can't leave things un-tinkered with, can you?

That said, I've always liked the look of the forged spiderweb BBS wheels in that matte aluminum/silver color (similar to the color of the phone dials). Not "interesting" though.
