996 10-spoke 17's. They are actually made by BBS and are quite light.

The 968's don't do it for me either.

So here are my ATP rims, which together with the drilled rotors are sort of a “Dot Theme”. Front: 17x8”, 225/45 tires and Rear: 17x10”, 275/40 tires, no spacers.
See if you can find the valve.

I found them on eBay a few years back and thought that was exactly what I wanted. They had been on a 968.

Yeah, I saw a guy with HREs on at Hershey last year with the same deal with the valve stems. Very snazzy Laust.

Ok, so what size tires fit 87 and later 18" wheels? 225/40R18 and 265/35R18? Any problems running 18" wheels with stock ride height?

I still have the stock phonies that I cleaned up a bit. Painted crests not pictured. I'm currently thinking about some 17s or maybe 18s that are wider as I'm having traction problems and yes I've tried new tires. Looking to buy used and <$1k. ouch

LFA951, thanks man, I appreciate that.

Verruckt, that is the exact size of tire and wheel I have on my car and it's lowered with Koni adjustables. You should have no problem.

Raj, that white 968 is absolutely beautiful.

Rare do i say, but i agree with DFAST i don't think i've ever seen a 968 i thought was decent looking just a mash up of 928,951,911 but that white one, dunno what it is about it but its damn gorgeous. Maybe the cars lines only work in white?
