I am kinda going throught the same thing here. We have a speed yellow 1995 that I am trying to decide what to do with the front. I love the turbo front cover but also love the RS splitters.

I guesss I need to see more examples in lighter colors.

I love this BBS

Hi Kai:
Could you please tell me the manufacturer of your wheels? Also the width for the front and rear. These are exactly what I have been looking for. I have a 97 narrow body c2. Thanks

Here's 3 photos that I absolutly love, and would have a hard time deciding between them. I thought that I would HAVE to have the TT front, but now I'm not sure.

Here's another look at the Euro bumper from Gert with Turbo S positioning lamps and clear turn signals.

T_Arcuri -

Kai's wheels look like my Gemballa Competition which I have on a '98 cab. Not sure what size his are but I'm running 18x 8.5/11 with 225/285 SO2s. They're 2 piece wheels with a cast center and forged lips; the also come in 10" and 10.5" as I recall. Roock also has wheels that look similar except for the number of bolt fasteners (I think)

I've seen his car parked on the street and it's quite nice.

Yes Roock has them and I had inquired about them since they look so fab. Here is the reply I got from Roock USA on two separate emails I sent:

[quote] The Roock wheels run 2500 US per set <hr></blockquote>

and when I asked about the offset and weight for narrow body 993:

[quote] The offset is right and the weight is aprox 24 lb per wheels. <hr></blockquote>

Hi
like what David said, those are Gemballa Competition 18x 8.5/11 with 225/285 SO2s. If i remember correctly, the ETs are 52 front and rear. Search the previous posts, we did have some discussions on the issue, some said that such size and offset will see fender rubbing, but I've been running those for 6 months and no rubbing so far. Have rolled the front fender though...

Gemballa, which = H&R coilovers. I used to have RS ride height/alignment set-up but it was really way too low, so I've moved it up 1/2 inch.
