H2

Can you even BUY Carrera GT rims? Do I even want to know how much they would cost?

I've had these 997tt knockoffs for a couple years now. Other than the offsets forcing the use of odd looking tires, I do like them. Just not sure if I love them. I kinda like the look of my old chrome cup 16's...

Keith, I have always liked the looks of your cars. Not surprised you aren't keen on these. Honestly, the AT Rivas on your old marooon OB, the blacked out twists on the all black, and the techart like wheels on the white car all look much better IMO.

Picked up a set of used BBS wheels tonight. Got them on the car and shot some pics. The car is dirty, the wheels are dirty and it is dark. I will get some better pics one of the next days.

The wheels are made by by BBS and have the word Classix on one of the spokes. The dims are 8½" X 18 and 10" X 18". They are 2 piece with matte spokes and a polished steel rim edge. The product numbers are RT137 and RT138.

OK, I got some better shots of the wheels in daylight.

When looking at the pictures, I think theyhave some of the design elements of the classic Fuchs wheels.

The valves are hidden behind one of the bolts. I have never seen this before, is this some BBS specialty ?

I just got these Carerra III's. Like 'em a lot. They look like they should be the stock wheel for 928s.

Yes. Same setup was used at least in BBS RS II wheels made in mid nineties. Had those while back in daily driver BMW 328.

Got set of Veloce 3.6's from UK recently. 8x18 ET52 front and 9.5x18 ET47. Not ideal ET's but they'll have to do. 3 piece RH's are too expensive and they are ET challenged at front despite the price. Replica center caps included with Veloce's do not look half bad. Plan is to eventually have black spokes and center painted to Oak Green and put them into manual GTS.

Default Porsche 928 @ Zandvoort sept 27th

I found this 928 last week at a Zandvoort event. I wonder if the owner will see this picture of his car here....
