Wheel pic shootout! Post your pic of your favorite.

I have not seen a thread that just focuses on wheel pics. It would be a great resource for those looking to see what the 928 looks best in. Of course, it is our own opinion on what looks "the best"!

Please post the whole car.

This wheel is a copy of the older ruf wheel for the 911. It was designed for a Porsche in mind and it looks good without being tacky.

Agreed, but a new thread would be more than a bit redundant.

I picked a few more wheel pics from that old thread. There are some hideously ugly wheels out there! These wheels came across as some of best styles for a contemporary, sporty and smart look. Of course one has to be Chuck Z's Cup 4 wheels for Sport Edition.

Hi :)

Lol...no that was at the drag track the day I took the UK Drag record for fastest 928...

See this thread >>> https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...ord-taken.html

All the best Brett :)

Brett,
All seriousness aside, being the fastest 928 does not mean that you didn't get your ass handed to you by Le Car. :thumbup:

Sport Edition
 
Just for your information. Sport Edition is one of Tire Rack's in-house brands, offering customized wheels by Japanese manufacturer Kosei. They are then made in China. What isn't these days. The wheel meets quality standards set by TUV Rheinland. The 18x8 fronts are 11.16 kg 18x10 rears are 12.34 kg. The 19x8.5 fronts are 11.97 kg and the 19x11 rears are 14.79 kg. Not bad for a very affordable street wheel. They also look easy to clean, unlike many mesh styles.

Any recommendation on tires for the 18"?

Rob Edwards 07-23-2010 08:32 PM


They also look easy to clean
They are easy to clean. 'Specially if you put a coat of Rejex on them before they ever go on the car.


I put Sumitomo HTRZ III's (235/40-18's and 295/30/18's) on them per Damon's suggestion at Tire Rack. The rears spin very nicely.

I love the color of your GTS, the wheels look perfect for that color.

Richter12x2 07-24-2010 02:58 PM

My take on the original tele dials. Had them beadblasted and powdercoated in bronze. Soon my car will be mobile again and I'll get some better pictures of them on the car

For those that like the 996 Turbo Twists, I have a set of 18" Hollow Spoke for sale on eBay right now without tires for cheap.

Five spoke O.E. Porsche wheels are my favorite on 928's, 17" Cup II's, 18" Carrera III's, and 19" Carrera Classics... as seen below...

Test fit the new rims this morning. I may even get tires for them.

Pcplod 07-24-2010 04:29 PM

Man, those are good looking rims!! Losing the jack should boost your fuel economy and your 0-60 time!!

I love Roger's wheels, but they cost more than my car did. I'm not kissing butt though when I say they're my favorite wheels I've ever seen on a 928.:surr:

Talk about a colour you will need to be careful with! No fixing scratches by buffing!

Looks good, nice ride height and wheels.

stuartbrs 05-21-2011 05:31 AM

There is a 911 with those RUF wheels from post one for sale here in Hobart. They are a smart looking wheel. Personally I love the Cup 2`s on a 928... however, Ive always thought 17inch Minilites would look superb on a 928S... perhaps not the S4/GTS though.
