I like these wheels.
Especially fitted with the 315 width tire that is [apparently] fitted to the rear of the car in the pix!
Since these are pretty good looking designs, I would probably consider them for my own car. In the end I would most likely stay with something that originally occured on the car via Stuttgart, however.
-I tend toward purity in design, and the Bauhaus school of design has always been a fascination of mine. Even when I was a kid- I thought long and hard and only just avoided architectural school. I ditched my Corrado in 1999 and bought my current garage art for it's shape more than any other reason.
Ideally, I'd find a set of "S" wheels, have them chromed, and have my car repainted back to its original black [it is currently some Porsche color that I affectionately call "motor oil brown metallic"] and have the rub strips and FED lights shaved.
Only one problem: "S" wheels are 16's, and I think 17's look best on these cars. What is one to do.....?

Jazd928,
I was the one who had contacted Jaquemond regarding the clear turn indicators. I had emailed him about a month and a half ago and received a response very quickly. He stated that they were no longer being sold. I also noticed that on his new website, even though some of the cars have them they are not listed anywhere. Yes they were expensive, but they did look cool.

And I think the Techart rims are actually on the heavy side (25-27 lbs. depending on size/width) versus Fikse or Kinesis (18-19 lbs.). Still, they do look nice.....
