Default Aftermarket wheel & rim thread

There have been a lot of threads dealing with aftermarket rims but I haven't seen, after searching, a comprehensive thread that covers all the options.

If you are so inclined, would you post a picture of your aftermarket rims, the sizes, the price, a brief description and an idea of the cost?

Perhaps this thread could then be used, in the future, as a reference for wheel-noobs like myself. TIA for your help!

DC,

K2?s (somewhere between a K27 and a K28 . . . read on for more excitment!), 8x18 w/225 and 10x18 w/285. Purchased used, but in brand new condition, 2 1/2 years ago with relatively new rubber (since replaced) for $2,500.




Regards,

Excellent pics Carlos, let's hope that nobody ever puts blue tint and black frames on them!

Carlos,

Thanks for the info. I may have to get a set of those since the price is very reasonable.

My wheels are DP Motorsports 3 part modular and are 17X8 and 17X91/2. I've had them for 4 years and at the time I got them they were about $2100

I liked them because they were different and it wasn't a wheel that everyone had.

RH 3.6 3 piece. 8x18 and 10x18. This particular rim is on my 911. But I have this set for the 993. Haven't decided if I'm going to install now or wait till I fix the ride height. They run about $2500.00 set of four.

Cy,
I don't think those wheels are K-28's, they look like K-27s.
These are K-28's:
