Post FVD wheels

Hi folks, new to this site. Just purchased a 1994 993 with 18" FVD RS Racing design wheels (gold center, silver lip). The car is also modified with a full turbo body kit and suspension and brakes.

Does anyone have any experience with this brand of wheels?

The wheels are made by Cargraphic -- they're great looking, light and strong. IMO, the best looking wheels, aside from the BBS racing and tuner wheels.

Here are some pics. Anyone know whether those are factory 993TT brakes?

Not a C4, but a stock 94 C2 tiptronic converted to full turbo body and suspension by previous owner. It also has factory sport seats, litronic headlamps, the works!

I love those wheels...

David - the seats turned out great. It was little tricky getting the sliders matched up and bolted down. The 2nd seat was much easier to do after doing the first one. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.

Nice car! I live in HK as well. Did you buy your car from a dealer in HITEC or Kai Tak? Where do you bring your Porsche to service?

Also, what does your display name mean? Are you a bond trader?

GT91111, yes I bought the car from a dealer at Kai Tak. I used several different specialist mechanics depending on the car (porsche, ferari, alfa, etc.) If you need a good porsche mechanic I can refer one to you.

I am a hedge fund manager.

Btw, Iam selling my pristine 92 C2 tip, if you know anyone interested drop me a note.

Cheers,
Chris
