The center spoke design of the AG is similar to the center of the RAL 2 piece which I've currently got on my GT:

The ones I have are from Keskin. It's called the KT2 Cup. I thought AG Cup was kind of a generic term, sorry for the confusion.

Keskin KT2 are quite heavy. There is another similar option available in http://ebay.co.uk called Veloce 3.6. They are lighter and seem at least equally good quality as Keskin. Maybe not as strong but should be strong enough. Available at 8x18 ET52 and 9.5x18 ET47 set in silver and black with polished lip. No affiliation, just satisfied customer.

O.K here's some pics of the wife's car. 235/35/18s on the front and 295/30/18s on the rear.












I am thinking about these wheels for my car.

The blue w/ those black wheels looks SPECTACULAR! I could see that on my '81 OB...man they would look AWESOME on that car!!! That car would look TOTALLY up to date with those wheels! Being black they would not show the brake dust so much either!

Those look nice!

E28 magnesium on the rear with centerlock.. "Low key bling"... Kind of like an oxymoron eh..?

Ran across a local pair of Mille Miglia 18x10 ET47 Cup 2 Replicas with Bridgestone Potenza RE050 size 265/35/ZR18. I need to have them straightened and refinished, but I like the stance on the car.

Jarrod, I see you finally got your holy grail, good work!

Heres' a pic of a local 928'ers GT3RS look 928.

Jarrod,

You could throw a 275/35 18 on those rims. Would look a little more aggressive (wider), it's only 1 step up from stock rolling diameter and will not jack significantly with your gearing or your speedo.
Match on the fronts would be 235/40 18. Also one step larger than "stock" and a perfect match for the rears, rolling diameter wise.

BTW, those wheels really update the look of your car!!

Hi Sterling. I have some 15mm spacers, but that would be way too much. It's pretty tight as it is, though a 3-4mm spacer would probably work.

Thanks Matt! After getting them, I'm not sure I consider them the holy grail anymore. Stance-wise, yes I really like them. However, the quality of these replicas simply doesn't compare to OEM. One rim has a small bent area along with a 1/4" crack along the inner rim bead area. The other rim has been welded to correct the same. I'm going to have both gone over professionally to correct these areas, and then refinished to look like new. Time will tell how durable they are afterwards. As I told Dan (s4ordie) in a PM, I'm starting to think the best bet is to have some OEM 17x9's widened, although I like the size and tire profile of the 18's.

Thanks Chuck! I'll go with either a 265 or 275. The 265 minimizes the impact on speedometer accuracy. The 8.5" replica fronts will be sold, as their ET52 offset is not very 928 friendly. Plus, I had previously bought some OEM 17x9 ET70's for the front. I just got them fitted with 255/40/ZR17 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs. Here's a shot of them, bear in mind the suspension hasn't settled:

Rims from the day still look good!

John,

I love those Club Sport rims...widest factory wheels ever put on a 928...(well on the front)... 8" and 9"...forged too! NICE wheels!

These are the forged aluminum version of the BBS E28 Centerlock cupcar wheels (I had them drilled for 5 lug, and the centercaps are on the way) on the little shark buggy... The front is currently 10X18 with 265's, and the rear 11.5X18 with 305's with Toyo R888..

The 305's also fit in front, and will go on the second set of BBS E28 Magnesium Centerlock wheels with centerlock hubs as 11X18 front with 305's and 12 or 13 X18 rear with 335's or 345's when finally assembled for DE events....
