Hey Brad,
I like the modern turbo twists on the early body 928. Had them on my '84. I think the TT's meatier looking spoke thickness and open area is just right for the size if the brake calipers and rotors.
I tried them on my S4, but didn't like them as much as the CIII's that are on there now.
I wish they made the classis Cup I's in 18" like they did w/the Cup II's.
PS the TT fronts (w/low offest) like a good alignment and no less that 165mm ride height.

Ed, if you were a pure purist, you wouldn't have painted center caps and cross-drilled rotors. The Phonies are definitely classic, or vintage, or period correct.
Looks great though! The painted center caps really "tie the room together"
...similar to the "The Dude's" rug, man.

True dat Jim...but the wheel center caps were last winter's project, and they pop with the minerva blue exterior:

To answer your question Erik those 19" wheels are the classics, sorry for the slow response. I would investigate someone's car with 19"s before buying a set, generally I think that 18"s are best.
Have you considered one of the two possible options, the sports classic wheels 11, you can change the offsets and achieve 9" fronts and 10" rears. Or a little more risky would be use the 18" Boxter wheels and cut them up and weld them up to create 9" fronts and just use the 10"s on the rear.These wheels will be much lighter than the 3 piece wheels by about 4 kgs a rim. These would look the same as the black wheels on my wife's car.
Does someone have a contact for this work in the US?

I guess these wheels origin from a car with the same option as Afshins has/had on his car.
