I like the look of those, but am not sure they would really fit my car. Also, considering that they'd have to be refinished, I thought the price was a bit high.

Thoughts?

They don't mention the offsets, and especially for the fronts it would be essential to know, as most wheels seems to be on the low side for a 928.

Another observation is that two of the wheels are shod with Dunlop tyres (M+S = Mud + Snow = wintertyres ?), while the other two are wearing (non-winter ?) Pirellis. Would personally be vary about mixing tyre makes, models and/or types, as they most likely have different levels of grip in wet/dry conditions, so the car's handling may become unpredictable.

Just my 0.02.

Cheers,
Erling

The look of the wheels suggest the offsets are in the right ballpark but to be certain you need to know the actual offsets.

I was looking for some photos of a 928 with 18" Anteras found them but they aren't the same style.

I have two Roof racks, a factory 928 rack and a Range Rover rack - no longer have a RR and neither the 928 or RR rack will fit on the Hyundai Getz shopping roller skate - hence the SE became the high speed yacht rig transport.

I just thought it was a nice photo - in the background (behind the pier) is Doyles Hotel at Watsons Bay - Sydneys best seafood fish restaurant in an idyllic setting and our regular haunt on a saturday after racing.
