I like the big lipped wheels and the 3 piece wheels, but man I would HATE to have to keep those things clean w/ all the screw heads! I hate my FM10's from the cleaning aspect enough! YUCK! Just give me some CIII or the 996 5 spoke wheels ANY DAY!

Yeah, it's the big lips that got me too, love it! I'll let you know how the cleaning goes, this is my first set like this.

Mogans, you'll like how these wheels look on a 928. Did you get lucky & get the 56 or 59 mm front offsets?
Keeping wheels clean around the bolt heads are nothing compared to the old BBS mesh style wheels, especially if you don't allow a brake dust buildup to accumulate.
Put a little Rejex on the lips, faces & backs of the wheels before mounting and brake dust wipes right off.
James, I'll take those FM10's off your hands. Nobody should hate their wheels

I picked up mine for $1000. Out here in SoCal there are plenty of Carerra owners getting new wheels and selling their "old" stock ones.

His looks like RH 3.6's http://www.rh-wheels.com/index.cfm?P...tail&PID=67579
Not the RH AG Cup's http://www.rh-wheels.com/index.cfm?P...tail&PID=84680
RH 3.6 are 3 piece wheels compared w/ the AG Cup's 1 piece. Both look great! The 3.6's are a little more expensive I think. Also, the AG Cup's spokes are more flushed compared to the 3.6's, which I like.
I wonder what's the weight of these wheels? The 911 guys say they're a tad heavy. I like 'em though.

Yea, he got the 3.6's. I was running similar looking 3 pc Hartmann's before, real blingy chrome deepdish. They started leaking around the bolts in the front, out of the blue, one of the rears would lose the seal and run flat.
Moved to the 1 pc, not as flashy but in 5 years, not one problem with em.
