Your probably right. But....1 peice 18" w NEW ZR Rated Tires with a starting bid @ 1850.00 isnt too shabby. Wonder what the final take will be?.

I like those! I came across a similar set when I was shopping for my wheels, but found out the offsets were not even close for a 928.

Cool wheels

Try these wheels. Better not park your 928 around my house if you have a set of these on it.

These are Kenisis K-18 wheels, and they cost enough to consider a life of crime....almost.

I don't even want to think about cleaning those wheels. I have a similar style - softer shaped, but even a few more spokes - on my Saab, and they drive me crazy! Yes, they look great when clean, but getting there is a major PITA. On the 928 I clean the "turbo twist" rims in 1/3 of the time...

Nicole,
If you don't use the brakes and stay out of the 'sprinkler water' puddles you don't have to clean em' at all.
Drew,
They do have a soft/smooth, almost nickle finish when viewed up close.
Nice.

Hey if you want a set of those 18" sport classic wheels cheap, I have a set for sale. They need to be repaired; they are all kind of dinged up. However I would be happy to get $400 for them.

Kevin - offer is tempting but I'm still waiting on the wishy washy owner to return my call on the s2. I did actually speak to him yesterday - quote - I'll call you back in an hour - Geez Louise.

I'm starting to get the feeling something quite not right w/this guy. Either that he's holding the s2 hostage from his wife?. More drama to follow.

Jay - Those are nice.
