It's about 25 Degrees F outside here at home in Richmond, VA so mine are pretty cool right now.

So someone can have this set for $3700, and I'll include rear spacers, and OEM black AL lugnuts. Not the center caps however which I'll still need. That's about $1K off the new price and also speedy delivery relative to special order from Europe.
Again these are the 18" forged wheels from the Fuchs mfr, not the Porsche Fuchs-style wheels sold via dealers.

18" RUF's. Was strongly leaning towards BBS LM's but glad I held out for these, pretty tough to come by:

Either way i think they look good on the car

This thread is great, because of this I've already ordered two sets of wheels for my '95 993 NB (which now has the stock cup II wheels).

First set ordered were the BBS LM's in the "tried and true" configuration of 18x8.5 et 56mm and 18x10 et 65mm, purchased from Wheel Enhancement. Their service and knowledge was exceptional from my experience.

Second set are the SSR Professor MS1's in a bit more aggressive offset so I will have to literally make these fit by rolling the fender lips all the way and maybe make other modifications. SSR wheel specs are 18x8.5 et 55 (these will fit easy) and 18x10.5 et 55 (I know its pushing the limits but I can get them to fit with the right camber angle).

Both sets of wheels are 2 months away from arriving to the USA, patience I must have, but when they arrive it will be extra rewarding.

Here is a pic of the SSR's as we all know what the BBS's look like.

Love the look of the original Fuchs wheels on the 993 ... GLWS.
