nice look, that looks soo good! - I love it when people refinish their wheels to match the car.

993 is so the right car for this aswell. I love your choice of colours too..
where are the wheel bolts?

I love the 19" RUF wheels. They really look great on the 993.
Are they advisable for a C2 cabrio, though?
If so, what kind of tire do you have to put on it, so it still fits?

While I think 19's are to be "frowned up," I have to admit, they do look great. If the tire can still have some sidewall and survive California's ... let's call them "roads" ... then the Ruf 19's would be nice. I wonder what they weigh and cost?

Check out this thread, you will see pics on NB 993s too.

https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=66189

Combinations of original and Rottec reps (available in both WB and NB fitments).

I cannot comment on if there are any specific restrictions on cabrio, I have heard of claims on the Targa, however you will see Mike J's previous Targa running 19's with no issues.

RUF specs for you reference too. They are actually made to fit NB cars (front offsets same as WB), it's the rears which require a 25mm spacer to fit WB.

Hi everyone... I'm new to the site and while looking for the intro thread, I found this one.

I went to buy new tires and left with new wheels instead.

DPE S20 in 18X11 and 18x8.5 275/35 and 225/40 respectively.

While they seem a little oversized, they're a 3pc. forged wheel, so the weight isn't all too bad.
