Volk Racing actually makes the TE-37 in a Porsche fitment (5x130) w/ 8.5ET50 fronts and 10ET60 rears. I'm not too sure the fronts will fit. It would be close. I'd like to see someone give it a try though.

Enkei RC5's are forged single piece wheels and they're 8.5ET54 and 10ET60, which will fit. Also BBS RE's are 8.5ET56 and 10ET65 and they're single piece forged.

Default SSR GT3's

Jim, are those GT3's 18's or 19's. Those look real nice.

I think those Rufs would look really good on a 928 (I'm looking at them on the Yellowbird in this month's Excellence). That's a pretty uncommon wheel, right?

Wow, yeah the Ruf wheel is rare, and the offsets are excellent for the 928! Someone please buy those for the shark!!

Chuck S.: very cool indeed.

Very cool and love them, but I am not sure they will fit "well". This is the problem with Tech Art wheels also, they are 8.5", not 8". I think 58mm with an 8.5" wheel is pushing the envelope for a stock 928.

For anybody looking at Tom's pictures... the K28s on Barney and the factory painted D90s look even better in person. Yet again, I think DR's black chrome K28Rs are the best looking 928 wheels.

Black centers w/polished lips look particularly good on silver cars, I'm now realizing.
