CZ - thanks! She actually looks better than those pictures. Here are a few more. The blue one is my father's 86 1/2. I don't think we have either of them registered with the 928Registry yet.....

So Bill, Is this you car? I remember seeing pics of it a year or so ago, but I had forgotten who, if anyone on the forum had it.

Lets see some more pics of the car.

What is the history?

we can all see the exterior, but is there any custom interior work?

Forgive the questions, but it is a very nice 928.

Cheers,
Michael

Anyone seen a monoblock one-piece wheel on a 928? there was a wheel available for a while (mostly on 3.6 turbos) that looked incredible, but they were out of mfgr-ing by the time I contacted them. I can't remember the name, but it looked like it came from Volk (but didn't).

Mark.

I would love to, but I'm stuck on a conference call today at work. Make sure you call me with the results from the smaller pulleys. I'm thinking forced induction next year.

Had to inspect a manufacturing bldg today, they make custom wheels. Took these pics in their showroom. Be the first 928 to sport these bad boys!



Or go for the wood grain to match your factory or Jager wood trim pieces.



Nice!.......or not.

I guess there are wheels for every taste (or lack thereof). Funny thing is that people who would want that kind of wheel think that they're being unique; but they're the exact opposite. Couldn't me more predictable.
BTW, do those C-Notes keep spinning when you come to a stop, or that be extra?
You gotta wonder about the durability of the finish on those....but does it really matter? By the time the finish starts to fade, the car's re-poed anyway.

Christian, those wheels look like the Gemballa's I was looking at for one of my cars....to bad they do not fit the 928 correctly.



Cayman wheels are available now, but not sure of the fitment....chromed looks good though


and the Antera 343...When I talked to CEC, they said Antera noted these will fit the 928. These are similiar to my wheels..almost...they look good in chrome too!

I had heard that the Antera 343 wouldn't fit a 928 properly on the front. At least in 19's.
