Easiest wheels to sell?
#16
I have those Forgelines FU3Cs on my GTS and still have the OEM wheels like yours in my garage.
I think I would put the OEM wheels back on and sell the Forgelines.
Also, let’s see some pics of the 993!

I had a 993 for 17 years, a base Carrera. It morphed from a total street car, to a track car at the end, morphing back to a street car when it was to be sold. BUT, I didn't rip out the carpets, rear seats, door panels, upholstery, etc.
The biggest improement I made to the 993 was changing out 3rd - 6th gear with some rare Porsche Motorsport short gears, steel synchros, etc. This made the car feel as it had 50 more HP, no more 2nd to 3rd lag where the car falls on it's face.
I get the appeal of a Carrera 4 S, it's somewhat rare and looks bad ***, BUT, it don't go Bad ***. Weighs similar to a 991 car, but in comparison at 282 HP, way down on HP, and super way down on torque compared to a 991.1, and extraordinarily down compared to a 991.2 Base, S and GTS.
Driving creature comforts....interior dimensions? Smaller than the later model Porsche cars. I want the room. There is no Blue Tooth or navigation, no BU camera and sensors, no LCA, ancient suspoenson, no PASM, no front axle lift, and the 993 is somewhat notorious for needing valve guide replacement, and leaking oil. Both expensive propositions to fix.
I am now in a 991.2 GTS and simply couldn't be happier. I do miss my former 993; it served me well, but it's time came and went for me. I could never go back.

totally understand... but no 911... not even a 992 Turbo is really fast anymore for me... once you race superbikes... all production cars seem slow. So the nostalgia and soul are what I desire.
