Default 944 WHEEL POLL !!!!

I'm trying to get an idea of what size wheel looks best on the 944. Don't be shy, pick the size you REALY thing would look good.

Copy-n-paste to the rescue!

All things being equal (and problems aside), I'm actually partial to 16" wheels. However, of the two (mentioned in the other thread) I'd go with 17", as I think that the 18s just look too.....chuckwagonish.....IMHO.

I like 17"s the best. I think 18"s are just too big but, as we speak my car sits on 18"s and probably will for awile.

The gold car in my avitar is lowered on 17"s and the black car is stock height minus motor and on 18"s.

i meant to only put 17, lol.



i could use a set of K58 kinesis in 18's.


or preferably powdercoated black (matte or close to it), C2 Turbos in 17's. maybe in chrome.... 8" in the front, 9.5" in the rear.

I am very partial to the 16" club sports. However in general 17's I think provide the best balance look. 16" were really cool in their day, but 17's just update things bit.

18" are too much in my opinion.

So far 17's are ruling the roost.

Sorry about the fifteens, I was gonna put them in but opted for the ninteens instead. There is alway someone who thinks bigger is always better, so I had to leave a catagory open for them. Didn't want them to choose the eighteen just cause they were the biggest.

I have multiple sets of 16's and 17's.

Afterall, you need dress shoes for the ball, and runners for the park, right?

Typical horsepowerfarm shot. I would recommend serious suspension work with 18"s and a buttload of power.
