I agree with Mark.

I like the Speedlines and the RH with custom offsets work well on these cars. I don't know how you run your car so low. I bottom out the GTS with stock height, looks great, how does it handle?

Mark, BTW is your 91 turbo stock?

Here are my stock speedlines on the GTS. She is sitting high because they were just placed on to see if I like them and I do. I am looking for a set of RH's with a bit more lip. Not to the extent of the custom job but the factory 61 offset can be adjusted to a 40 or 50 mm with proper spacers to make it look better.

I like mine... for now. But I can see a future upgrade perhaps.

Very Clean Andrew.

My 3.3 Turbo has a 60-1 T3/T4 Ballbearing turbocharger, B&B Headers & exhaust (modified to 12" Borla XR-1), and an Apexi AVC-R set to 1.15bar. Very quick at this boost ratio. Has 135k on it now, 60k with the turbo/boost at it's present setting.

It also has Fikse 18" FM5's and 3.6 turbo brakes all around, lowered about 2".

Yes, I can bottom out both cars if I'm not careful, but I am careful.

Simple Green & a pressure washer is your best bet. I gave up on trying to maintain my wife's FM10's & got her FM5's. (Hey, she had her chances...)

Thanks for the Kudos, Mark. That's actually an old pic. I now have clear front corners, red side markers, and aero mirrors. But you'll have to wait until spring for the new pictures.

Okay, here's one of my old car with polished dish wheels, and then 17" cups.

I think DR's black chrome powder coated K28s are the best wheels on a 928. Those Speedline 3.6 or RH AL wheels don't look nearly as good as the RH RAL.

Andrew, I love the clean look of the early spoilerless 928s especially with the cup wheels, which are still one of my favorite wheels on a 928. Areo mirrors a definate bonus as well. Shoulda kept it as a stablemate to the GT.
