Where HBL in tysons? I work right next door off Greensboro Dr. I have 17' Cups on my red 993. If you are thinking about buying a car from HBL send me a pm.

My guess is that they're original. I can't see why someone would make a copy of teeny and ugly 16" wheels. IMO.

I guess I have to play... PO chromed the fronts and painted the insides black which is not my taste. Looking to swap these wheels out this winter for some non-chrome. Great thread to help me make up my mind.

I'm going to vote for you as having the "coolest wheels"
I'll also vote for you as having the most "interesting" avatar

Actually it was TWO pictures. I took one with the car lit and the other with the sky. Then super imposed them in Photoshop.

Always good to bring back a great thread!

Kika! look at post 232. Is that what you're looking for? Until you become a RL member I don't think you can get any PM's
