Chuck Z,
Sweet very Sweet.
I particully like the red 928 GTS on the rear end.

Awesome thread! Took me 20 mins to get through it.

But what? No chromed manhole covers? Ok, so they're not the coolest, but I thought I would throw them up here for reference.



I just bought a set of Cup's from Herr H and am deciding how I want to re-do them. Pretty much decided on powder coating, now just trying to figure out what color. I'm leaning towards the aluminum look silver (like stock), the charcoal/gray, or possibly white to match the car.

Here's the before and after shots, notice the sweet wide track look with the Cups! Sa-weet!

Looks like an offset issue in that bottom pic

I like the car..no sidemoldings with early bodystyle in white looks good IMHO

Yea, if you ask me, those 19" 997's are about the closest thing to an updated stock look a 928 could get. I seriously thought about these wheels before the Forgelites. They live true to the Cup I and Cup II's of the 90's. Right on Tom...looks natural! I would bet these wheels would be the choice of Porsche if they were still making the 928!

How are you guys posting the high res pics? I was getting a message that the image size was limited to 145k thereabouts.

actually rides very well. the car is otherwise stock so it might be harsher with suspension mods.

His wheels looks great on a 928

Default 18" Miglia Emotions

I just sold these for some Tubo II Hollow Sokes. They actually grew on me the longer I had them on. Definately unique for the Shark.
