New Wheels!
Finally got the new wheels on the 88'
They are the 17" 10 spokes off a 2002 996, what do you guys think?

The rears bolt right up, but the fronts need about 7mm spacers. I have been looking for new wheels for a while, and wanted to do something a little unique because it seemed like everyone had cup 2s. They were the stock rims in 2002 for the 996, and were made by BBS for porsche with porsche part numbers.

Adrial,
According to the guys at wheelenhacments, they are the lightest wheels out there that are OEM from porsche in 17 inch fitments (excluding the hollow spokes, but do those even come in 17's?) I asked about the weights not to long ago, and i'm trying to find the email from them, but I can't seem to find it.

Those are the weights from http://www.audiworld.com/tech/wheel22.shtml so im not to sure how accurate those numbers are, and I havent had any problems with rubbing yet, but it looks like the fronts may be close. I havent gotten to push it to hard yet, but it refuses to break loose on a whim like the old phonedials.
