Hey guys I'm new here and I'm wanting to get some wheels for my 91 C2 Turbo. I love the 94 turbo speed line wheels. I would like to keep the car looking stock, however, if the CCW wheels are much better in quality and performance than the RH wheels I would buy those. Can you guys give me your opinion on both wheels and which ones would you get. They will be going on a 91 C2 turbo guards red.

Thank you very much from a newbie on here

How about a pic of the LM5s for those of who don't know what they look like - and don't want to search :-)

That said its pretty darn hard (IMO) to beat the look of the Speedlines and I understand the RHs are a pretty high quality wheel....

RH's have pretty soft lips and can bend easy. That said, they are 3-piece so you can replace lips and barrels if you need to.

RH gets my vote. I've had mine for over 2 years now. Granted, I don't drive mine daily, but I have no complaints. The look is perfect to me and can't imagine running anything else, short of the real speedlines. That style wheels is just iconic on a 964 Turbo.

You like the look of the RHs then nothing else will do.

Nothing is better than the speedlines...but if the RH quality isn't there I would go a different route. Those of you with the RH speed lines do you like the quality? Also, they look pretty heavy...are they?

I appreciate the feed back
