Guys-
I agree. I bought new rims a couple years ago (993 cups), and now I look at my car, and they look out of place. I saw a stunning C4 outside of Starbucks this morning in Tacoma, with the D90's and I thought to myself, they belong on the car. I think I'm going to switch back just for a change of pace.

I like mine polished. Originally, they were the same colour as the car.

Shoot, with all this newfound excitement over Design 90s, maybe I shouldn't have sold my set. Design 90 wheels for sale

At any rate, you might be interested in what the June, 1990 Excellence magazine had to say about Design 90 wheels in their review of the 1990 C2 Cab:

One distinct improvement to the Carrera 2 is the addition of wheels that Porsche terms "Design 90" cast alloys, a new entry in the Porschephile's lexicon. These spidery aero wheels first appeared, in forged form, on the 1988 "S" version of the 944 Turbo, so they might better be termed "Design 88" wheels. Nonetheless, they impart, along with the new body work, a particularly sensuous appearance to the Carrera 2 cabriolet. Their lighter appearance is in better keeping with the aerodynamic skirts and bumpers of the new Carrera.
So there you have it, folks. The Design 90s are a distinctly sensuous improvement over the Fuchs. And to think, lots of us have been selling them for pennies on the dollar in the classifieds.....
