Default How wheels change a car! I'm in love all over again! :-)
Got the new wheels from James (thanks buddy!) they are perfect.
The ride is soooo smooth now.
Need to change the bolts to silver, but for now, I will leave em like this


Anyone want my old 19" wheels with
265/35/19 R
235/40/19 F
Toyos
Will sell tires seperately

Prefer local deal (SoCal)

Even made the paint look better, strange how something as simple as a wheel change can affect the way you feel about the car.

Sort of the push-up bra of the automotive world.

Looks good! So your dumping the 19's", why, ride too stiff? What are the new wheel sizes?

the wheels look hot.
i would leave the lugs black , it gives the wheels definition, and go to the dealer and buy the new style lug locks they come in black . ( 55.00)
No, funky keys just a socket that fits over the round lug, works perfect!
keep those beauties right where you left them.

FM 10s are some of the nicest wheels you can put on a 928.
Very sharp!

Dumping the 19's, stiff ride, and I usually do long commutes to work. softer is better in my case
