Default New Rims

Just picked up my new rims. They are Veloce 3.6 Speedline reps painted bbs gold in the center. These pics were taken while I was using washers to determine the spacers I need. Looks like 9mm.

It was the same measurement for both front and rear. I expected them to differ, but the rim offset is different front and rear so that must make up for it.

Tires are 225/40/18 front and 285/30/18 rear.

I like the look. What do you guys think?

They are Veloce wheels and you can order them directly from www.velocewheels.com. I believe they are around the $1500.00-1600.00 mark new + shipping. They are made in Germany and seem to be a quality piece.

I bought these locally from a fellow Rennlister. They had very little use and the OP had them painted the BBS gold. Originally they come in a silver or black centers. I am very happy with the look. I think it makes the car look 20 years younger. Too bad it doesn't do much for the driver's age!

The tires are Pirelli P-Zero Rossos, 225/40/18 and 285/30/18. I do need to get another rear tire as it has a slit in the tread package near the sidewall. Not safe. Going to try and look for a used one locally if I can. The others are in good shape although a little aged, but they will do for this year and possibly next if I can locate one used rear.

Mike, do you have room for a little more spacer at the front without rubbing? I think that would fill the front fenders out a little more.

Nice wheels!

Love it, I do have a question though, albeit a noob one. The Porsche script break light bar on the back why do some have it and others don't? Was it an option, part of a package?

Looks very nice!

+1 for Charlie. The fronts look like they could use a little more spacing if you can get away with it. Not a big deal, though. If it was my $$ I'd probably leave them as is.

Love those wheels!
