Is there any love for teledials?

I have a set and Cup II. I am a purist at heart as well, that is why I have them. However, they date the car terribly and realy don't do the lines of the car much justice. I think they are nice for track wheels (which I don't do), but for looks stick with what you have.

Actually the glare is hiding the hideous Strosek hatch. I saw the SY Strosek 968 cab at Hershey and it was nice mostly because it didn't have the Strosek hatch.

I have to agree with the early vs late offset and Phonies. Heres our two cars: 86 turbo and a 87 N/A. The early phonies look amazing, but the late ones just look kinda off.

what would be REALLY cool on an early offset '86 car would be late offset 8's on the front and early offset 8's in the back
Here's early offset 8x16's all around with 225/50's and 21mm spacers in the back

I'm with the guys that didn't like them but found that they grew. I think it's a matter of looking at the car through certain coloured glasses. The Cup cars or others just look uniquely period and you take them for what they are. I also think that you can modernise these cars tastefully to look great too. I find many people who don't really know our cars remark how contemporary the lines are (especially from certain angles). With the 968 wing mirrors and some nice 18" wheels they can look tastefully modern. Lose the US rear bumper would be my first step if I owned one of these.
Phonies look good though and with the tall aspect ratio tyres, a blast from the past.
