I hate you.

Sweet S2! Glad you stuck with the Cup 1's, they do look great on the 944's

Nice S2 Kie, Looks just like mine, I have now. Did I ever show it to you when you came into Barrier back when I was there?

To tell if the rims are real or not check to see if there is the offset and the width stamped by the valve stem. Should say "55" and "9" on the rears I think and "55" and "7" on the fronts. There are other ways to tell too and from the pics I would say they are replicas.

Hi Kie,

very nice car! i too bought an S2 last week, only mine is a white cab. It is an awesome car - love the torque. much different than my little 83 (that's for sale if anyone's looking - hint hint) - sorry for the dealer pics, been too busy driving to stop and take photos

Brandon I never saw yours, no. You shoulda hauled me out back and let me give her the hairy eyeball.

I remember you being very patient and helpful with me when I was ordering the most ridiculous small/obscure part for whatever P-car I had. Now I see you are looking for a bike:

Perhaps its time for you to cash in on some of the favors I owe you?

Ok thanks, I'm thinking these are the Mille Miglia replica rims. So if I can see the #'s you speak of, this means they are real or fakes? I can make this determination with the wheels/tires mounted on the car?

If you can see the numbers they are real. You can easily tell it with the wheels mounted on the car as they would be right around the valve stem on the outside of the wheel.
