Here's a few I have collected. I have always been a big fan of PD's, but also the FD's. I think I may have found a company that makes a 20" that is really close in the design of the FD

Anyway, they look great painted!

Very contemporary!

These would work...ay?

I forget whose car this was, but it was very interesting with very cool wheels

My all time FAV! A set of these in 20's just mayyy go on the cab.

I was planning on buying these wheels, but I heard the front wheels dont fit the 928 properly?
Got any side pics of the car?

I had a set of wheels onmy 924 (26 years ago) that were different than anything I ever saw on a Porsche. I'll have to see if I can find a picture of it. Now these wheeels on a 928 are different and distinctive.

Powder Coated Cups

Here are my powder coated Cups. The color was supposed to be "Black Chrome" but turned out different than any black chrome I have seen before. Turned out looking real good (to me anyway) on the car.

Chuck,
I agree - saw them first thing this morning and IIRC the 997 wheels have near perfect offsets for our cars. Are they 11J on the rear?

Holy Crap

New turbos right?? wheew, I didn't see those coming

I'll take four!!!

PS. Chuck, FYI, I- Forged made the cover of Perf.BMW mag, even got their name mentioned on the cover. I wonder how many sets of wheels they had to cough up for free to make that spot? Sad...

Hmm? Lots of nice wheels always wondered how my 5-spoke ultra lights would look with the black-out treatment on my Black Shark. Anybody got something like that in a five spoke like mine?

I ask because a few weeks back I saw a guy do this using a Duplicolor spray can kit on new 05 GT Mustang that looked pretty sweet. But if I did it I'd have it done by a profesional.
