Since I couldn't find any pics of a car like mine in our 'MIA' archives, here's a pic of my '86 951 for other ppl considering a wheel upgrade.

These are the Mille Miglia Cup 3 wheels. 7.5X17 in front and 9X17 in rear. I got them from Wheel Enhancement.(BTW, John et al at Wheel Enhancement were really helpful).

I went with Brisgestone S-03s: 225/45/17 in front and 255/40/17 in rear.
I had to bend the rear fender lip a little in the rear to keep the tires from rubbing under hard cornering(I'll post more on this later).

I had a chance to drive my car pretty hard last weekend, and I'm really impressed with these tires. They're very predictable under oversteer and understeer conditions. Overall, they feel great and drift very nicely. I can't wait to get the car on the track.

hey, what happened to your magic key hole behind the driver's door. Ha Ha

That is a great looking car.

Sean Hall

The car never had a magic key hole... No sunroof either. =)

Did you get a chance to weigh the wheels or wheel/tire combo?

Sean Hall

No, I haven't weighed them. Next time I take em off, I'll thow 'em on the scale and post the weight on the forum.

Looks really good :-) I can´t wait until summer to drive with my new wheels too :-) Cup 3 are very goodlooking but Cup 3 split ;-) they are yummu

I don´t have the keyhole either but my car is the last model from 1991.

Looks very nice! Have you upgraded your castor blocks to the 968 version as specified by Porsche for retrofitting 17" wheels on models originally equipped with 16" wheels?

Hi!

Looks really good,almost like mine....! <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />
But I do have that alarm key hole and sunroof,and I don't like either of them.I don't have that tires-rubbing-the-fenders problem ,but my car's a'87 with bigger ET and it's not that low.BTW,my center caps says "Turbo".

Cheers,Pete

Still waiting for the spring and my new 18" Mak Force wheels with brand new Uniroyal RainSport 1 tyres 225/40-18 & 265/35-18 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

hopefully the rear wheel spinning will come to an end. Well, at least with 3rd, 4th and 5th...

Sean Hall

Thanks for all the complements!

Let me know if I missed someone's question:
-The wheels were $980.00
-The car hasn't been painted. It sat in a garage most of its life.
-I haven't upgraded the blocks yet. Soon.

Here's the latest dyno run. Since this run, Danno and I have fixed the fuel curve with his chips(more info in a future post). I currently run anywhere from 20-25psi. The camshaft I'm running is Elgin's 330T cam.

Thanks! <img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/SeanHalls_951.jpg" alt=" - " />

The wheels look great, but it's the dyno run I really lust for!
