I prefer whatever gets me the most money for them

So what's the difference between '89 and '90 versions?

... Just thought of something... should we call the '89 versions "Design-89's"?

At the risk of making mine less desirable, what are the differences?

Thanks for the tip jaja but it seems nobody wants the 6's for a 944, especially for the track. Maybe they would make nice hose reels

6's and 8's would be great for street wheels on a 924S. Not so good for the track. Shipping is the killer though.

I'm thinking about the D90's...I need to see if I'll have space to store them

OT, but I like the wheels on Moorepower's car too...did they need spacers?

Thanks

They actually needed negative spacers, lol. They were 17X7 and 17X8.5 Boxster wheels with 255/40's on the rear, and they rubbed just a bit under heavy cornering. I could have made them work with a little fender lip grinding, but they were so heavy it wasn't worth the trouble. They looked great though.

Thanks - if you don't mind me asking, did they rub up front or in the rear?
