Oh my 26 yr son & 22 yr old daughter have already told me that I have to get some custom wheels. Son found some black ones with a yellow outter rim that looked incredible. Didn't even look to see if they made any to fit a Porsche. Heck, they were over $1k each, so I'd have to sell my Kinesis wheels for that.

I have a set of aftermarket 17" Cup IIs on my blue 928 right now for when I was planning to autocross last month at Daytona. I'm sure those would fit. I actually love the look of the 16" C-2 wheels, those were on our '90 911 Cab. One of my all time favorite wheels, just wish they were at least 17".

I'd love to try my 18" Kinesis K28Rs on it if they'd fit, but I think the 295s in the rear would require the fenders to be flared and that's too much to think about for now. But the Smoked Chrome finish might look pretty sharp with the yellow.

I bet if you follow the history of that car, one of the previous owners worked at the Raleigh-Durham airport in NC. I am guessing that its the one I used to park next to on a regular basis in the south employee lot while we were doing a fiber project there.

I know a few cab owners who went 18" and changed back to 17"s, see if you can try a set out before you commit.

Pay the extra $$ now. I just went thru a major headache when I used a broker to get my wife's Cayenne S delivered. Worst mistake ever!
I did not find the 18's to be too harsh.

Yes, this car spent from 01/99 to 02/06(34k to 62k miles) in NC, then it shows as being in CA. Inspection records show Morrisville, Cary, & Chapel Hill, NC. Do you know anything specific about the PO? I'd love to be able to learn more about the car's history from them. So far, the dealer is somewhat sketchy in their info in that regard.

Anyway, the interior and engine bay appear to be in good shape. She's gonna need some 17" Cup II's for sure though.
Holy crap. I remember them being in the $175 range not too long ago.

Yeah, the invoice for the dealer is about $500, so they've gone up even more. The same is true for the 928s, from about $300 to about $600 for the S4s. Ask me how I know!

Man, I'm glad Im 4 days late to this thread, I'd be in big trouble with wifey.

Great looking cab. Intercity was great when I shipped my speed yellow.
