What wheels are those? They look remarkably similar to my enkeis.
Looks great!!
Looks great!!
The wheels are Riken Mesh wheels - some defunct Japanese performance rim company. Receipts say they were bought in 1991, they seem to be a pretty rare set of rims in this bolt pattern. Light as hell too!
Also, the wheel centres used to be gold, but some PO powdercoated them grey. Much more understated and less retro, which is good and bad. I like the retro look of gold centres, but still love these.
Have any pictures of yours?

BTW does anyone know what that hose in the upper left hand corner of my second picture is for? It comes from just behind the driver's side fender and stops about half way down the side of the car.

Bad timing, I just sold my mint black carpet set. Including the trunk which was amazing! It took me a year to find it. Lol. How bad is your rear trunk mat? I have one that I wouldn't call great but I think if you dye a little spot on spare tire hump and get a rear floor mat you'd be good. You could have it for the price of shipping. Let me know if your interested.
I wish I had pictures of my car! I need to get some good ones. Here is one change I made to my interior though! I get paid tomorrow and then here it comes full leather door panels! I forgot to vacuum it!

My rear trunk mat isn't that bad, to be honest i haven't really even tried to clean it yet. There appears to be a bit of a rust spot in the middle of it though but it could just be a stain. If you have a black mat take a picture of it i would defiantly be interested.
I have seen a few porsches with the tan/ black interior like stogie25's i think that is kind of the look i am going for, I just need to find seat covers for the seats. The front seats have tears in them on the bottom >.< and the steering wheel is in pretty harsh shape, But i doubt fixing up the interior will be as bad as doing all the work on the engine i just did haha
