The host for my images died a few years ago. I think I still have most of the pictures on one of the hard drives though. I'll look around and see if I can re-host them on my current, stable domain.

The rear looks better, but my research yielded ease of suspension set-up this way. Ultimately, the Spec racers use 225 50's on 7 inch wheels, so I thought best to do the same.

Lemme start it up. I'll make a new username for my image gallery and maybe I'll share that user/pass with anyone that wants to help maintain the database. I'll get it going now.

Ok, here's the new home of the 944 Wheel Gallery...

http://evilengineering.com/gallery/v/rennlist/

I'm still populating it. Let me know if you have any corrections or suggestions. And feel free to post up/identify any good shots of different wheels mounted on 944s. Again if anyone has interest in helping to update/maintain this gallery, PM me and I'll share the user/pass for this account with you.

This is what it will look like soon enough...

I have the structure and a few of the shots up now.

http://evilengineering.com/gallery/v/rennlist/

More on its way soon. Hopefully at least 5-10 shots of cars with each style of wheel eventually. And there's going to be a ton of cars in the "aftermarket" folder.
