Heh..i dont know i think it could grow on me. They may look pretty good in person. Never really have liked those wheels too much though.

Ditto on the colour. The wheels area a bit busy, IMO. I like the simplicity of Cups and Turbo Twists.

I hope that car has only just been started up as I would be more worried about the smoke it's putting out than those wheels!

I think one member one here wanted to put these newer turbo wheels on his 964. I think he ended up going for the older turbo twist. Yea, just doesn't fit the ear of the 964 =/ Still looking for cup 1's!

I think they are way to busy for the 964. You can't improve on something thats amazing and elegant to begin with unless what is added really brings out more of what you already have. You know right away if it is so. I hope that makes sense. If not maybe its me.

I think they look pretty good actually. I am not totally crazy about the design, but they look good on a 964.
