Good deal. My Mille Miglia fronts are collecting dust in the garage - they're in serious need of straightening/refinishing/new tires. Check out the bend in the one on the right at about the 1 to 2 o'clock position:

 

BoomBoom & Jarrod - the paint on your guys cars is just stunning - wow, just wow !

 

Thanks Pete! Here's boomboom's car from the 2009 OCIC, back when Marc W still owned it. It was sporting 18" 996 Carrera wheels at the time. The Zyclamrot Metallic was/is stunning, indeed.




Oh, and let's show the D90s some love in this thread:

 

That car is stunning indeed.
I'm thinking about the same wheels. Are those 18x10 and 18x8?
Offset?
Thanks

The oldest Strosek car Version II, the marine-blue Strosek Version III and the red Strosek Ultra. The oldest car has 16" wheels, 10" wide at the rear. The other two cars have 17" wheels, 13" wide at the rear.

I just bought a set of these on eBay for $750 including nearly new Goodyear tires in the correct size for the 928. They are 18 by 8 and by 10. I think the offset is ET50 front and ET65 rears, but I haven't verified yet until I get the last package and open them. The rears may require a spacer, but I just got the longer studs from 928 Int'l for that if needed.

Edit: Ok, I just verified and they are 8 and 10 and 50 front and 65 rear. From the pictures of these on this thread It looks to me like the 50 front offset is just about the limit for the 928, and even those look outside a tiny bit.

 

50 isn't a great front offset. I had those exact wheels on my car when I bought it and in a 20 MPH turn into my neighborhood with a very slight bump mid turn the tire caught the fender lip and puckered it a little. Luckily it was just the lip and not the fender. I used an Eastwood roller to correct the lip and get it further up out of the way and then changed to my current wheels that have a 57 offset, which is much better.

I always get the Carrera LW and the Carrera III wheels confused, but the one that looks like these but without the pointed spoke has a much better front offset for the 928. I think it's a 58 or 60. That 8" with 50 offset wheel is for the front of a 911. The Panamera wheel looks similar too and has a good offset.

 

I just looked at these wheels and see that there is quite a bit of "meat" between the bottom of the lug hole and the face of the mounting surface, more than I recall seeing on some others, like my Cups, so I'm thinking I might be able to take off about 3mm there. Then I think I'll look at the front hubs and see if any material might be taken off of those on either side. If I could get another 5 or 6mm off those that would put these right where they need to be, at least form an appearance and clearance standpoint. It would be nice to get closer to the ideal 65 however.

 

First post...
Been busy choosing a color for my soon to build 928... What color is this on the first pic? Nutmeg? Or Mocha? Or is it something else?

Oh, and the second pic is just for fun...

 

Saw these on the Fikse website. How would they look on Turq?

That's not Mocha. Look here: http://www.landsharkoz.com/htm/sc/colourother.htmEric, Those Profil 5's will look great on Turq. Ordered 18" FM5's for the 94 and Fikse 17" Classics on the 79. Great rims. T
