Default I neeeeeeed GT1 Veloce wheels...

A fellow Rennlister photoshopped the Veloce GT1's and white indicators onto my car... Looks so damn good I'll have to get a set of each asap!!!

EDIT: A few things more done in photoshop, lowered in the front, no license plate, tinted windows. Lokks pretty good huh?

Looks shark either way. I'd keep both for that car and use the new set for Weekends.

Great lightweight wheels. Let us know if they fit. Those front wheels are 8.5" wide with 50 mm offset. I've run 8.5et52 & 245 tires and those were rubbing the fenders in U-turns. 235's have been better.

I'll have to fit it into my budget, maybe when I get one of the 944's sold...

I received an e-mail from the maker claiming that they'd fit straight on a 928GT like mine without modifications.

ive read that the reduced offset of the front wheels can lead to reduced stability in a straight line. so although the fittment is not an issue, there may be a degree of compromise in straight-line stability.

I think the white turn signals and side markers do more than the different rims. Gosh, I wish someone would make the white leness for us...

One of the added benefits of medium gray/light charcoal wheels is that they hide brake dust much better than silver or polished rims do.

If you end up going with those wheels, I don't suggest moving your front calipers from 2:00 to 10:00. It'll give you some funky braking & would be an expensive fit (just kidding)
Nice wheels on a black car. I'm sure we'll see some pics if you end up with them!

Well since it's a Photoshop job where the whole wheel has been stolen from a 993 the brakes followed in the wheel package.
