Maybe it's just the photos, but it looks like the rear wheels protrude too far out (i.e., wrong offset, although only 7mm off?). Vince's look fine though. Nice touch to hide the valve stem among the "bolts."

I also like the look of covered bolts, but since I change wheels/tires 4 times a weekend for the past few years, I have gone completely away from anything with center caps :-)

I feel a bit of a rant coming up. Why is it that so few companies make wheels for P-cars? Somebody inexpensive like Enkei or Konig should jump in, they'd just make an absolute killing. Also, why is it that most P-wheels now are 18"? I specifically don't want that, I want 17.

Although I think spoke-type wheels look better on the 993 than mesh whees, those look pretty good...very cargraphic-like. And for the price that's a great deal assuming they are fairly durable. Good job, David

Mike,

Why not get the Fikse FM10 in a 17" rim?

I'm thinking about them or Kinesis. But the price is about 3x what a decent Kosei would be, for eample.
