I've been doing alot of research on my car to find some info. This is a pic of it racing @ 10ish years ago at what I believe is the Rush Cup @ Okayama. Pretty cool. I enjoy the history just as much.

Yes it is I spent a long summer month skiing in Zermatt back in '81 and was a poster I had on my dorm wall in College. Every time I was having a bad day it brought back great memories. I was considering replacing it. I have original Parmalat stickers from their F1 car I was considering replacing it with but it works well there. I also am not looking to permanently use up such an important piece of history.

Back in the driveway and ready to go. Had a set of Ohlins R&T put on to replace a worn out Bilstein/H&R combo and got a cup pipe/Fister secondary installed (Thanks @revolve40). Surprised at how different the car sounds compared to running the factory primary/g-pipe combo, and I love the new sound!

Amazing that Rotiform has become so successful after most of their wheel designs look like blatant copies of other wheels.

Not sure what that means? I found the photos via the companies blog, they've kept a nice diary back to the early 2000s. Car was owned by a "Maise-San", as noted in all the pics, unless that's a word I'm not familiar with.

Thanks,

Good Marketing helps and what appeals to the buyer at the end of the day. I myself love Rotiform wheels (don't have a set of my own yet). IMO...their version of the fuchs and other wheels is better than others i've seen.

Rotiform has over 100 different wheel models. I would estimate around a dozen of those models are inspired by OEM wheels of yesteryear. In my opinion, it is a positive thing to offer these much-loved designs in custom form so that anyone who really wants that style has the opportunity to have them no matter what car it is that they own.

@s65e90
Mie-ken, or Mie Prefecture, is the location the car was registered (as per kanji on top line of number plate).
The owner (without the honorific 'san'), Maise, can be used to search too perhaps.

Minkara is a Japanese social network for cars, sorry.
You can add the term above for the circuit name, and year, and perhaps ポルシェ (Porsche), and 964, too to refine some direct searches.
Duck Duck Go and Google can also be used similarly in Japanese to find more period pics too...

DM if needed, happy to help!

A quick look brings up this, but date is wrong:



and this on Minkara...

​​​​​​Had a set of KWs installed and the ride height reduced from Urban Baja to something more appropriate.

It's actually a pretty small percentage and the difference being that most of them were only available in smaller sizes and one type of construction.

Also, many of their wheels, mine included, were made based on an idea that a customer had.
