those are some nice 18" RUF wheels. I saw some for my car that are 17" like the ones on the CTR yellowbird. I gotta price....1900 with Bridgestone RE71 Potenzas I think i would have to eat TV dinners for the next 8 months if i got those....

How about this puppy...a RUF 3400S

I have a friend with an 89 S2 running factory hollow spoke technology wheels on it. He says the car has never road better! But I'd reccommend doin ball joints first before doin somethin like that cuz it can put a lot of stress on the suspension compononents and i've heard those go out first. But other than that I've heard of no complaints other than that...which is a normal plague on the 944...

BTW: <a href="http://www.ruf-automobile.de" target="_blank">http://www.ruf-automobile.de</a> is the website

The shop I take the 44 to is Vancouver's only official RUF dealer. They have everything from wheels, to steeriong wheels, to seats, to full conversions and actual RUF cars. Damn sweet. They also do DINAN for bimmer. I think this is the link: enjoy. <a href="http://www.weissach.com" target="_blank">www.weissach.com</a>
