Default Good luck

I have been looking at these for a while, thanks for showing me the way!

With the spacers how do you like the rear setup? Could they sit out a tad more?

Default Black on Black

I am leaning towards the same wheels in black on my black car.

I like the black on black look of your car but wonder what the innsbruck would look like given that it does not have a lip accent (either chrome like bbs or the red trim on your wheels)

I haven't yet seen Fergus' car in person, but I don't think it's actually black.

Perhaps he should bring it to our Kingston meet on Saturday!

I've almost pulled the trigger on these same wheels multiple times, and will probably end up with them. They are super light, if I remember correctly the fronts are just over 17lbs and the rears are under 19.

Post some close up pics!

I posted a question about these several months ago and was wondering if someone could figure out what size spacers I would need for an 87 951. I was looking for a mesh wheel. No one thought they would work. I ended up going with the 17" Sport Classic in gunmetal and they look great.

Out of curiosity do you think they would fit on an 87+ 951?

Those are pretty light. For 18s, anything under 20lbs is good.

The front will fit fine. The rears need a off set 55+ to fit comfortably.
