Default Rare Tahoe Blue 968 cab on eBay.

Here a rare one on eBay. Code 58 Tahoe Blue metallic is a $1500 special metallic offering for 1992 only. Only 5 cabs were ordered in this color. This car is the only one paired with the light grey/black interior. Great color.

Ugly wheels though.

fugly wheels aside, that car is cool.

wouldn't mind having it going about halfway between Tahoe and Cobalt Blue.

right after cutting the front end and screwing it royal.

Very nice color combo indeed. About 4 hours SE of me. What kind of wheels are those anyways? they don't look like a true Porsche wheel, but similar to several.

Not SSRs - SSR GT3 spokes do not curve inward toward the center of the barrel as those do. I've been told by a guy who purchased his new that they are Eurotechs. Now known as or perhaps sold by usarim.com.

Yep, here is the link:
http://www.usarim.com/porsche-18-inch-c-7_74.html

Really, for $695 for 4 rims incl. center caps, not a bad deal. They have two really nice 19" P-Wheels; a Sport Classic look alike, and 997 Turbo wheels for $895 for 4. Wish they had either of those in 18s, but they do list that they would fit the 968. Anyone have 19s on their car?

there are a total of 0.00000 968s in McQueen's Blue (a.k.a. Gulf Blue).
