Nice Shark, Welcome! Nice C-2 five spokes you have there as her "shoes". One of my fav all time wheels. Wish they came in 17s or 18s which would allow for a wider rim too. Here's a pic of my former gold '85 shark with C-2 five spokes wheels on it too. Our 968 cab came w/that same wheel too.

So nice! Enjoyed the story of your trip! I have slept in places less comfortable than a 928 seat btw!
MGW, is that what you 968 guys call a C2 wheel??? In 928 terms the C2 wheels (ie. Cup II) came on the '94/'95 GTS's and were shared with 993's (though narrower fronts on 993's). I agree though that they are a GREAT looking wheel!!! Many get those wheels confused for the Cup I wheels on '92/'93 GTS's.

Congratulations and thanks for the pictures, exceedingly nice one. As Gary Knox made made aware during my first initial posting (so copied here with pride):
Your wife, friends, and associates are going to have to get used to that "grin on your chin".

There was also the C2 Turbo wheel, which was the 17" wheel with a wider five spoke that 1st came on the '91-94 911s Turbos. It is the very popular 928 wheel also referred to as the Cup 1s, yes? I have the aftermarket version as my track wheel for my current '85 928.
