Mike,
From the pics its appears not to fit properly.
Please send the wheels my way and I'll confirm for sure for you.

What are the specs on the wheels? Offsets?
Check out the quick specs on the above post. Forgot to mention, polished lip comes standard and I added chrome rivets as well....

Most def as the weather gets nicer, we should do this again. Tuesdays work for me. Did Alvin get Big Bird back yet?

Those Rauh Welt Porsches are just so sexy man. How much did the rims set you back Mike ?
Post some pics when you have rubber on them and have them bolted to the monster.
Deep dish 3 piece look - instant woody man.

Mike M,

I talked to Allill and he said that Alvin's Big Bird is still in the shop. He didn't have any details when it's suppose to come out and play. It's been awhile.

Well, still have to be patient. Vendor for tires fell through (another story, kind of disappointed, but nothing lost), working with another, and 295's are backordered for this week. Looks like the next week or two. Well I waited this long, but in due time....

Well, finally got the tires mounted on and put the wheels on the C4S today. After the rave reviews, went with HTRZIII in 225/40 in the front and 295/30 in the rear. Wanted to be a little conservative on the tire size for now, but appears this setup can go much wider in the future if need be. No rubbing so far either....

Modular wheels + 993 (any real/air cooled Porsche for that matter) = SEXY!

Nice! Looks like there's plenty of room for wider rubber.

Those Work's look pretty sweet on the car man. You gonna do something about the centre caps on the wheels ? Looks a little unfinished in the 4th picture. Congrats.

Those look NICE. Love the lip. Is that a sticker (Work on the spoke)? Is a center cap available?
