I agree with Arash, twists look so much better on your car. Twist and arena red just work, period!!! I never thought I would say I like twists better than speedlines (man what is wrong with me).

Which ones do that?!

Like them both. Speedlines need a color matched 968 rear spoiler.

I think the twists look far cleaner on your car.

Rule of thumb: If it seems too good (cheap) to be true, it is. It's cheaper because it's made of crap metal full of voids and impurities that greatly detract from structural integrity. It probably won't matter until they get really hot from brake temperatures experienced on track, though, other than they'll be much heavier than the "real" thing.

Stay tuned. They MAY come up for sale.

Stay tuned. I've got it in my office and it will be installed soon.



If I can ever find the wheels I really covet that do not cost my first and second born in exchange then these will have to go too.

Ordinarily I would say speedlines, but in a 17" size they look too small.

In an 18" size they would look awesome.

So with your two choices, I say the twists look better.

Of course I'm not biased
