Those are sweet. I've had my eye on that exact set of reproduction rims for a while. I've been hesitant because of the big debate of if it is ok to put 18" wheels on the 964 or not. See your car makes me want to go ahead and do it.

Drooooool. I love those rims and they look great. Now I get to see them on the same color car as mine. I have held off as well with the 18" rim debate on C4's

What tire sizes did you go with and can you compare the ride with your previous setup in terms of comfort?

I went with 265/35/18 and 225/40/18s(i think)

the ride with the D90s and pilot sport cups(DOT approved race tires) sucked with the H&R's

now it only sucks marginally worse

(i guess it's livable to have a car that sweet!)
