As far as a more contemporary look goes, I like them...of course most any wheel would look good on that car

Thanks for both points of view and the compliment.

I am torn myself. I like them on my C2 which is the same color but not so sure it is an improvement on the GTS. I am thinking of selling these and buying a nice 17" wheel for the GTS. I found with the heavy duty Bilstein Springs/shocks and 928 Specialist sways the 18's make the ride too harsh.

My other thoughts were keeping the cup1's and having the spokes painted Amazon to match. I did this on my cup !'s for the C2 and it looks great.

I would need to disable the RDK and use 1/8 inch smaller spacers in the rear to make them work. I also need to modify the front center cap to fit around the grease cap.

Opinions on how they look please.
Very nice....I like em I'd love to have them on my S-4

Cobalt,
Those are nice looking wheels, but like Randy, they just don't do it for me on your car either. I think your idea of painting the Cup 1's to match would be killer though.

Default Veloce GT1's



Veloce GT1's on my 930

They don't make them anymore but they're a forged wheel - total set weighs in less than 30kgs

Cost about £4000 !

Default How about this wheel variation?

This one's a bit different... It'll probably "do it" for Randy, eh?

THAT'S IT
33 pages? That's all you guys got?
We(me) need more pictures!
I am still looking for wheels, but this thread does not have enough Silver cars with wheels....

Is there another wheel thread?

Obviously a new guy to the race car inspired offset.

Here's a little homework assignment for you to help get you up to speed.

Start by calling the wheel distributors over the specific wheel style that you actually like. See what their answer(s) is/are. Then ask what wheel they have will actually fit the FRONT of a 928 78"-95". THEN, start asking for the names of the manufacturers and give them a holler. Keep following this path and let us know where it takes you. We are ALL interested to hear of new wheels that will fit a 928. If you find one that no one knows about already, share it!

I had mine custom made.

The kinesis wheels are my favourites of all time for this particular car. My dream...
