I think on the mid to later 80's 928 as a surviver example...they just about can't be beat. Saw a 83 silver without rubs with manholes this weekend and it looked great! The early cars with phone dials ROCK as well....one has to I guess be a purist to appreciate them. If I can ever pick up a nice early car in the future that is not my DD that car will have stock wheels on it.

Many of the more modern styles, to me, look very out of place. Like a 50 year old woman dressing like Madonna... er... you get what I mean. Also the more open designs that show off the brakes are a poor choice if those components are not particularly pretty.

Polished flats are really great looking on my car, IMO.

Just a thought, I have a set laying around that I really want to get out of my garage. Has anyone tried bringing them to be recycled? As scrap aluminum? Mine are polished but in pretty bad condition. They'd cost more than they're worth to refinish I'm afraid.

I love them. I have annodized sets and chromed sets. They are bullet proof.

Hold On

I think they look just right on the car. Not too out of time with the body, and not too ricey.

I HAVE to pay more attention!

Changing the wheels to turbo twists and the aero mirrors brings the 928 up to date nicely IMHO.

The OEM wheels with good rubber are in the quonset as they have been for many years now.

Yeah, they pretty much are that bad.

Mine look like crap and IMO are the worst looking part of my car (now ). I have a set of phone dials I've been waiting to get painted and I'm finally going to get it done in the next week or two. I can't wait.
You want retro? Can't beat the phone dials IMO, I'll keep the manhole covers for track days because they're indestructible, but on the street? Meh.

I dunno, you decide. I know what I prefer.

Yup, looks much better with the window down and antenna up.

The leaves on th trees and the flowers make the car look much better

my 84 US spec has bronze finished stock wheels with almost new tires. I have heard the bronze finish is somewhat rare.

I have been considering polishing them, in part because they have also have a few noticeable scratches and I do like the polished look better. cant afford new wheels for the 928 due to putting $$$ into my track 911.

comments regarding the bronze finish?

I relly like the look of the dish, and phone dials for that matter, but the size is the problem.

If somebody was to offer a modern replica in an 18" or 19" diameter ( with correct widths and offsets of course) that would allow a broader tire choice and the associated advantages of modern tires, I would be thrilled.

Actually the previous generation Audi A8 (D2) came with an 18" wheel that looked a lot like the 928 dish wheels. I also saw them once on a 1st-year TT. Anyone ever tried to see if they fit?

Mike Frye

Something like this??? (Love these wheels BTW!)
