In a 993 :

OEM Turbo or Speedline RS.

Stop.

IMHO Like always

p.s.
Never a '19 . Not Porsche homologation. Not safe and wrong.

Default ****-ism

I know that I made sure the tip of the crest points at the valve stem ... just didn't realize until this thread that it was an unwritten RL rule, and that everyone else did so, too.

Haha never noticed that until you happened to mention it. Better rotate mine then.

Has anyone considered this 997 Turbo style? I like the gun metal paint to help hide the brake dust.

Can't complain it was my Porsche dealer that offered 'em first, & my local miracle-worker pulled all the strings to do it ASAP, wanting 'Fuchs' on Speedy as much as I.

Last week, he said he now thinks Speedy's wearing the first Tequipment set on a customer's car in the world. Dealer hasn't 100% confirmed it yet; still, nice to hear.

Also, happy to help another spend money on their beautiful 911, especially the only other member of the RL 993 Speedster club

Happy to see my local dealer's attention to detail in the below pix; it was defintely the 1st 997 I'd seen with 'em blacked out, like '80s Fuchs

Graham-- Rarely share water-pumper pix on the Air/Oil Cooled Areas (especially one entitled "Who has coolest wheels on their 993?") but here's a similar 997 shot a month or so ago:

David-- I can't help, but the below pics are from the brand new fuchsPerformance.com website.

More discussion of these & others on the "Futuristic FUCHS fans: 2010's windmill WHEELS" thread.

Wheels are Avus M02. Tires are Continental ContiSportContact. Lots of tread left. Rears: 315/25-19 Fronts: 235/35-19

Not sure of the offset. I believe they are around 43mm rear and 55mm front.
