Kyle- What tire sizes are you running on those 18s? I have a set and need to pick up some rubber.

I believe they are; 18x8et 50mm and 18x10et 65mm

My car is an 87 w/ no spacers...

2002 10 spoke 996 wheels on my 968. Thought they looked cool but turns out they're pretty light, might end up on the 951.

I don't know what wheels these are, PO put them on.

Might add a set from Tico here pretty soon.

Hmmm - so many nice options for the 951...

Badass951's car is stunning - love the red accent in the sport seats.

Here are my Antera 309's - they came with the car when I bought it & I wasn't too keen on them at first, but they have definitely grown on me since. I'll keep em, but I'm currently searching for another set of something that I can switch between - maybe 17's.

I'm in to the staggered, multi-piece look, so maybe a set of BBS LM's with a gray center/polished rim would look nice. Any one have LM's?? Did some photo-shopping (last image)...

This is a good thread - please keep the pictures coming.

1 inch spacers front and back. The rears could come out a bit more though. Sorry I didnt get the fit perfect Ted.

Nurburger, you photoshopped that last picture with the car at that angle? That is some high quality work there. Those Anteras look nice though too. They're definitely original.

Yeah...I'm still pissed at you about this Justin.

No worries, I think they look good.

Yep - I'm an adobe geek... Every car I own gets its wheels changed eventually, so I just started playing around with photoshop to give me a better idea of how a rim looks at various angles than my imagination could provide.

I'm happy to lend my limited skills to anyone here - though please only contact me if you are truly serious about purchasing a set of wheels...

Here's another favorite on my car - they are iForged 3-piece.
