Default Before and After Twist

Sales Pitch...

I stole Mark's 18" Turbo Twist that are Beautiful! They were on that 928 open back looking unit. They barely fit in the wheel well with 245/40/18 and 265/35/18 S02's and that is what I wanted. A full wheel well. My wheels really made my car look different and much more modern. They are FRH wheels. My girlfriend has a new Boxster and my wheels look just as good or better than hers. I can highly recommend them.

Thanks Mark and Jim!!!

Yes Justin I have been know to take payments and when the last payment is made we ship the parts There is a company here in California that was doing "rent to own" wheels. Billboard add said "Think you can not afford these wheels...Think again ..Rent to Own Wheels ." These were the BIG SUV 24 inch or so bling,blings.

I 2nd Jim's comment. I put GTS size wheels on my '83s and WOW, what a difference. It felt like a much younger car, and it did look much newer. For those thinking of dumping a lot of money on hopping-up an earlier 928, this is where you should start.

OR does the set have two that twist one way and two that twist the other.

Aesthetic issue.

I do admit: ignoramus me.

Thanks!
Here we go again...

My car came with them, and I LOVE them! The upgrade from 16" to the wider 17" makes a big difference in cornering. This car feels like it's on rails, and the ride is not impacted significantly.

The only downside: If you have a pre-91 car and don't work out at the gymn, you might want to upgrade your power steering pump and rack to the '91 and later model versions...

This is a great offer, and well worth jumping on!

What is the widest tires you can run on those 7.5 & 9" rims & still fit under a stock 88 S4 wheel well? Ideally I would like to run a 255 up front and a 275-285 in the rear?
Thanks
Brian

Jim,
How about a deal like that on Cup II wheels? I'd be first in line! I'm not too crazy about the TT wheels.
