Talking New wheels = Big difference!!

I just got these onto my car I have been working on them with steel wool and wheel polish.
I now have wider tires on the car and that makes a nice difference

Nice! What are you doing with your stock wheels? Phone dials or Fuchs?

"Are you going to paint the center caps?" - I've thought about buying a colored set off ebay but I sort of like the clean look to leaving them silver.

"What are you doing with your stock wheels?" - I sold (over ebay) the wheels I had on it before which were design 90's. They looked good on the car were not really aggressive enough for me. There are some pics of them on the car in my P-caronline profile"

"What width C2's are those front and rear?" - These are 9 inches in the rear and 7.5 inches in the front. I have one inch spacers all the way around to get the correct offset. It runs pretty smooth even at high speeds. I am running 225s in the front and 255s in the rear

Josh, those look awesome! Now our cars would look like sisters, side by side...

BTW, what tires are you running?

Hey guys, glad you like them! Kudos Michael A. on the call - they are Kumho Ecsta Supra's all the way around. I've been pretty happy with them so far. - Nice tread pattern - These are actually factory rims that I bought off a friend of mine. He was running them on a 928 and came across some 18 inch twists that he couldn't turn down

I am hoping this spring, Alex to put together an Atlanta photo shoot. I think it would be a lot of fun - especially driving from location to location - I betcha Brian would lead the way!

Nice Rims Josh!

I also have C2T 7.5 & 9 x 17 with 225/45 and 255/40 AVS Sports on my car. I've since added painted centre caps - you can see them on my Rennlist Gallery page (below my signature)
