Thanks Stan. I'm looking into some hand painted with a large crest.

Those wheels are awesome a large crest sounds like a great idea as well.
Of all the 18/19 in wheels I have seen these seem to fit the 928 body style the best, just my thoughts

Here's another:

Yep great choice on wheels. Put a Porsche center cap on them and they might just be my new favorite

CHEAP, yet good looking wheels to battle the Charlotte, NC potholes...

18 x 8 [ET45] (225-40-18) in front; 18 x 11 [ET52] (295-30-18) in rear... the 928 wasn't on the fitment chart -had to use 911 widebody fitment IIRC.

Victor Equipment LeMans wheels w/ factory colored center caps
Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires

NO spacers!

Default Kerscher rims

I found this german rim manufacturer the other day, and found that they have 17" and 18" rims with ET / offset apropriate for the 928.

I particularly like the rims KCS and KRS. Classic designs for the 928.

They also make the Fuchs look-alike FX as splits in 17" and 18".

Their US distributor is www.tunershop.com

....all things in time grasshoppa!

I'm expecting my Bilsteins/springs/sways from DR any day now to go along with the smaller rear spacers, red brakes/drilled rotors...... more pics will have to wait til then. Exhaust mods too, but you can't hear them on this forum....
