When I first got my 968 a couple years ago the same idea as as RAY cross my mine ,so came on the forum & ask you guys opinion,well didn't take long like your saying SeaCay was told to keep them original.I did and I'm glad never look back once.Like Ray my 968 is also what you could call a time capsul with low mileage.

For 17" Porsche wheels, I would look at the cup 1 for 1992-3, and cup 2 for 1994-5. For 17" non-porsche wheels, I absolutely love Fikse.
A lot of "nice" wheels end up looking bad on the 968, IMHO.
Check out www.wheelenhancement.com for ideas on wheels. Oh, and congrats on the purchase, I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you SeaCay
Thank you ,btw one of the best uprade to any 968 interior (if you don't mind losing the air bag) is to get yourself an 968 SC streering wheel promise you won't regret it.Feeling is completely different from the OE one.

the first upgrade for an 968 is updating that hideous steering wheel. that airbag is getting on 20 years anyway and it needs to go. if you insist on keeping it, put it in a box in the attic and get a CS wheel or if you insist on an airbag, get a 996 wheel off ebay and new airbag from Suncoast or Sunset Porsche, and get a clockspring from Oklahoma Foreign. then you'll need to have the 996 wheel bored on the inside (front) ~ 1/8" and ~ 5/16" trimmed off the outside (back). then you'll need to run a ground wire back and connect it to the firewall.
