My wife is telling me I have problem, I think she may be right?
My problem is I can't seem to stick with one style of wheel(s) for long.
It was this time last year I thought I bought my forever set of wheels, 19" BBS LM's. I was wrong, I'm now onto a set of 18" Fuchs. Don't get me wrong the LM's looked and performed great, I had them custom painted (two tone black) and machined to use accommodate stock (77mm) Porsche center caps. As nice as the LM's were I always loved the look of black Fuchs on a white 993, hopefully this will be the last wheel I buy because I have to admit, it is getting a bit ridiculous.

not a problem, a disorder
I currently have 4 sets of wheels for one car, and looking at 2 other sets
honestly, if I drove more and could wear down the tires I'd change wheels every week
Techarts, MY02's, Twists, Gemballa's
rinse & repeat, that's part of the appeal of the 911, they take wheels well

I think changing the wheels ever so often is not so bad ,good way to keep it fresh ,now if you were buying new cars every six months or so then yeah thats a problem ...Bert

You may have a point but if I were to total up what I've spent on wheels I could have at least put down a respectable down payment on a new car.

While it may not be the most financially sound approach she needs to understand you're just trying to nail down a certain look. The previous wheels have some value to you can recoup some money there too.
I like where you're going with this. Based on the ductail and side script it maybe just the right wheels to tie it all in together.

I went through almost $15k of wheels before I found the right ones for me. I did sell one set and recoup most of my money. I held on to one of the others so I could switch between 15" and 17".
I'm in total agreement though that it's easier to switch wheels than cars.
