Turbo Twists on 964?
I am browsing the used wheels as I contimplate expensive Fiskes, and I am curious anyone running Turbo Twists on your 964? PIcs? It seems the offset would work, but it would be tight.

Here you go. These are Mille Miglia replicas - 8.5Jx18 in the front, 10Jx18 in the rear. Offsets are 52 and 47 respectively although fitted with 18 & 25mm spcers in my case because of the turbo body.

Dave, I'm not on the forums as much these days. Didn't you have the car resprayed after the body kit was re-fitted? Is this an 'after' picture? I missed any others you may have posted!
The car looks just amazing!

Howard,
Yes, this IS an 'after' picture. Notice there is no longer a black line between the rocker and the body - it is now bonded and filled. It makes it a nightmare to remove if work is needed on the oil pipes but it fits so much better. Front and rear bumpers are now bolted on rather than bonded, so much better there. This was one of my insurance renewal pictures taken in July this year. There are a lot more pictures in the history section on my web site - link below.

Hi Dave, it said it before and I'll say it again, superbly looking car. Only the size of your exhaust tip seems a bit ....ehhrr....long

Kris,
At the risk of being accused of hijacking the thread, the exhaust tip isn't long - it's just that the bumper is short!!! The exhaust is a Fabspeed dual outlet but the tips are designed, obviously, for the standard bumper. The Pro-9 body kit I have, based on the Strosek design, has a really short rear bumper with the result of leaving the standard tips way out in fresh air!! Unfortunately the way they are shaped it's virtually impossible to shorten them - else I would have done it already. It doesn't look so bad in real life - other than from the angle of that picture.

I have a set I used for autocross rears were the wide body ET 40. A little tight and only allowed a 265 on the rear. I am selling them if anyone is interested.

Absolutely beautiful car, Dave. The yellow looks great in all of the pictures, regardless of the light. Red is my mainline favorite, but one of my favorite cars was yellow, too. This was my car in my previous life:

You could still try contacting him.
