Default Got my brand new speedlines today!

Brand new from Sunset Porsche the fronts were in the country in stock but the rears Im waiting for another week or so as they are in Germany in stock! I was very happy that at least the front etchings have an upper case I and not the lower case i as some thought they were all going to have. Im very excited to get my turbo center caps and BBS valve stems on them when I mount the new Dunlop tires!

$4,460.00 total shipped to my door for the set!

Those rims will look great! Hope you post some photos after they are mounted. What Dunlops are you planning to use? Congrats!

Here are the part#'s

8Jx 18 ET 52 965 362 136 00
10Jx 18 ET 61 965 362 140 00

These are what came equipped on the 968 turbo S from the factory and what they also put on all 964 turbo S and 1994 only 965! They come in polished center and silver metallic, very exciting!!!

You're doing only a 265 tire in the rear?

Very nice Sean. How much do they weigh? I was looking at them before I bought my Supercups. Those are beautiful. Are the outsides polished or chrome. When I looked at them, I only found them in Chrome and I wanted polished aluminum. I love my polished centers. Are you going to polish them or leave them? Beautiful either way.

Im not interested in having ginormous rear tires or any funny looking out of place shenanigans on my car! Yes if you have the perfect offset rims, rolled fenders and just the right ride height it is possible to put 245 and 305 tires on a 944/968 but unless your on the track whats it for? My car gets excellent grip with LSD and 285/35 right now, even under full boost around corners I see no need to go larger!
