ONE?

- OR-

TWO?

New Continental Extreme DW ride SOOO much more comfortably, less harsh, WAY less road noise with slightly less grip than the old Bridgestone Potenzas.

The Panamera wheels (#2) , updates the car much better. Older BBS "basket weave" wheels really date the car's looks.

That's like comparing a new pair of Levi's to bell bottoms.....

The wheels in the second picture look much better, but the background in the first picture is better than that of the second. I need to take my 928 to the lake!

No contest - those basketweaves are hideous.

FWIW, those BBS wheels look exactly like the wheels on the 928 that was "restored" on Wheeler Dealers (which they hated and traded in for some Phone Dials).

Definitely prefer #2...

What size tires did you go with on the Panamera wheels? I've had a set on my 88 since last fall.

Those BBS wheels look better with the center caps off.

The basket weaves are truly ugly. I prefer the late 928 wheels with subdued spokes. When the spokes get real skinny (Panamera) they look like they are going to break off any minute. Craig's wheels look pretty good (like mine).
