Thanks Enrico, I think you might be correct. From the RH site:

Nice looking wheels, but RH wheels are very pricey!!! The new supercups & BW's will look very similar too!

They're not too bad on Ebay. I don't see a set like those right now.

No likey on the targa wheel. I don't think they are at all similar.

I guess I was overcome w/showing off my wheels at the moment. The RH's have got a definite dish to them as well as the 993 wheels taper at the rim where the RH wheels actually widen back out.

Lot's of "lip" on the RH's.

Chuck,
I was looking at those on the eBay scam car. Those wheels look fantastic on that car. Are you thinking a set on the '95?
I've been holding out for the BW Turbo 3.6 reverse drop centers (how can BW operate w/out a website???!), but man, I really like these.....
If you find a manufacturer other than RH, can you post?

Michael, My comments probably read kinda smug and I promise I didn't mean it to sound like that. I know everyone is proud of things they do to their cars just because I wouldn't like the look on my car shouldn't mean your's is bad.

These would be for the black GTS. I would get the centers painted black in order to keep the sinister look of that car. I've been hearing about these BW wheels for some time and have yet to see anything. I agree, I don't know how they can function effectively in today's market without a website. I'm pretty sure RH is the only manufacturer though. They are actually located here in Charlotte. I didn't think RH's were that expensive at least when we bought the set currently on the blue GTS, they were $2,500. Not sure what these are as that was a few years ago.

I spoke to Joe at RH about their wheels. Nice, helpful guy who knows his product very well. I think we'll soon be seeing more of them in 928-specific applications...stand by.

These are the RH 3 piece.. I recently ordered the one piece set. They come in two different offsets for each side.
