Maybe the one side is for when you're going in reverse, or if you live south of the equator.

They do look good on your car.

I'm afraid I like the old wheels much better...

They look custom, where these look stock.

I guess it depends if you want to look like you drove off the showroom,
or if you want to look like you have a custom beast...

I like that look MUCH better. Nobody take this personally, but I have always hated the Rivas.

Looks nice Tony...I am VERY surprised about the 50ET on front....go figure!

The car looks closer to stock, less custom and pretty much a "sleeper" now.

Tony,

I love the setup. Are these the same as the ones (different tires though) that 928 Intl. are selling ?

Rob

"Wheels are 8x18 front 50 offset and 10x18 rear 65 offset. Complete with Kumho Supra 712's 225 front and 275 rear." from 928 Intl. online catalog.

These are the specs on mine...
Front: 18x8 et 50 with Continental Sport Contact 2 tires 225-40ZR18
Rear: 18x11 et 45 same tires but 295-30 ZR18

Notice its an 11 inch rim, not 10. My offsets are different on the wider rear rim. Other than that, yes the style of the rim is the same.

My guess is that she won't. Mine didn't Do you notice her new shoes?
good point

Those wheels look great. I had actually installed the Eibach Bilstein setup on my car when I had the design 90's. When I installed these twists, I has to go back to the factory suspension. Those huge wheels make for a stiff ride.

But they look dam good

Tony,

Do you have any pictures of your front wheels from the front of you car, similar to the pictures you took of the rear wheels? I am looking at a set of wheels that has a 54mm offset front and back, and am trying to figure out how it would fill in the wheel wells, and if there would be any rubbing or sticking out. The wheels in question are 8.5x18 and 10x18 all with 54mm offset. Do you have any suggestions on this combination?
Thanks,
Hans
