Every drastic change made away from stock morphs a 928 into something that eventually is not a 928 anymore. Example, I love VW bugs, but when I see them all tricked up and modified by some teenage mutant automotive engineer, they do nothing for me. Would the owner of a Van Gogh sunflower painting just arbitrarily start sketching in some gaudy roses to "improve it" ? No way. Let's all be adults and try to keep our cars relatively STOCK, STOCK STOCK!!!

The lack of smoothness in my driving style forces me to upgrade to wider 17" wheels so I can run wider tires. I've seen those who can carve corners in their 928 with 215/225 width tires, I tend to throw the car into the corner and I end up washing the front 225 stock tires out. Could be because I had changed the suspension from stock Boges to Bilsteins/Eibachs.
If I really wanted to keep the car stock, I'd be riding on Pirelli P7 Cinturatos.
Not sure if I want to do that. Tires have come a long way in compounds and carcass designs.
Synthetic oils have progressed since the Porsche Shell Oil fill days.
As have synthetic lube for the transmission.
The 928 may be a time capsule of 70's/80's design, but automotive technology has advanced since then and I'm going to give the old gal all the help I can get.

You're not alone. Although the manhole covers that were stock on mine are just NOT working for me. I've got a set of OB phone dials that I want to get painted and put on. I love the way the OBs look with PDs. Something about the first time I saw the car...
Now that you mention it I need to move that up the priority list. I think it would just transform my car.

The Cup IIs have always been my favorite........... for a long time now. The turbo twist my least favorite. I really dislike seeing them on a shark, especially.

My winter wheels are Cup II replicas (Mille Miglia).
