Agreed. They are probably the 17" K27 centers on the Kinesis Supercup 18" rim halves.


Here are some pics of my Kinesis K28R 18x10" (f) and 18x11.5" (r). Shot peened and gold anodized centers.

Gemballa Competition wheels, 8.5" and 10" x 18", cast modular, titanium bolts, relatively lightweight, deep reverse lip, similar to the Roock wheels, but different spoke shape and bolt pattern, I purchased them 4 years ago for $3200; ever the capitalists Gemballa has since marked them up another $500 after demand surged.

Absolutely beautiful - might be the nicest 993 I've ever seen.

Damn, TB, your car looks simply awsome.

Another thread about "most beautiful 993s" was just started and I vote for yours.

I thought the Forgelines were not recommended as street wheels?

Forgelines are perfectly fine street wheels. Construction is almost identical to the Kinesis and I believe they use the same company to forge the centers.
