Fenders were rolled before repaint ... car is just slightly low.

Tell me...what’s the best wheel for this 964? I like the Racing Dynamics but don’t love them. Couple of criteria:
1. Want to stay with 17s
2. Wheels can’t be directional (like turbo twists)
3. Not a fan of chrome or shiny things.

Suggest away!

Not everyone’s cup of tea. Volk TE37s.

My suspension has settled a bit since my last post although I do wish it was slightly lower.

Older pic before the Luftballon plate came in...I'd like to lower more but it currently rubs with the 15mm spacer in the rear. I might switch out with 7mm or remove completely to avoid rubbing on compression

Great looking Targa MB. Agree -5 to -9mm would do it.

Can you note the size on the Targa with Ruf wheels please. Any rubbing? are they 10's in the back?

Agreed. I’m not sure I have that much adjustment left with the B6 Shocks and H&R Sport springs, I’ll need to check next time I have the car in for service.

Here you go:

Front Wheels: 8x17 ET 56.7

Rear Wheels: 9x17 ET 44

Rubbing only when the steering is turned full lock the tire will rub the inner well. I’m not sure there’s much that can address this other than avoiding full lock.

MB, I have the same setup. The car is now well settled and I am at RS height. I still have 1/4 of the thread left on the strut front & back. Hopefully you are the same for the final tweak

Gold cup 2's (love the 17" feel and lightness)

I love my Cup 1s, but I couldn't take my eyes off of these Speedlines all weekend. Would love to see them on my car...
The ride height looked right, and proved "real-world" capable, given the 100's of miles of undulating twisties we hammered through!

Both cars and wheels look gorgeous.

Might be too low for a few people.
