I haven't measured the ride height. But it is within 928 spec, not slammed at all. The car is sitting a bit lower than the pictures show now. They DO stick out a bit on the front, which is why I'll be going with 225s once the 245 tires are spent. Still, no rubbing at all, but I am very cautious while driving regardless.

Looks great!
It's amazing how much smaller a 928 looks with larger wheels. Are they 18"s?
Are there any more MY102 replica's around? Who made them?

They are 18". I believe that you can get MY02 replica wheels from Wheel Dynamics. I could be wrong on the name, but James (pcar928fan) just bought a set not too long ago and can probably provide all that info.

Jon, you are correct. Mine shod with nice Hankook Ventus V12 tires and custom painted and shipped to me were $2200... Or about 2/3rds of what I paid for the car they went on! LOL! But they TOTALLY MAKE EURO85 LOOK AWESOME!

Have any pics with the old tire/wheel to show a side by side? Your car is beautiful.

Thanks Trip. I don't have any pictures like those with the old Turbo Twist wheels on it. I've never had anything stock on it since I've owned it.

Here are some with the 17s on them,

Jon you need to take another set of pictures after the suspension settles,
It should look pretty good with those bigger wheels on it and settled

Damn this is exactly like I want my red 928S. I love this ride height! How much were those rims?!
