The wheels are actually Cargraphic, bought at Deutsch Tech Motors in Richmond. I know the originl owner of that car who had it up until last year. I actually originally ordered those wheels for my C2 in 2002 and passed on them later. That set sat at the shop for a couple of years until my friend ended up paying close to $12,000 with tires for that set. They were brand new at that time in 19 inch size.

Hi 996Carrera, thanks for the info. I brought it from Londonmotorcars and they told me its Gembella rims. Up to then i never even heard of them. I ve never heard of Cargraphic either, but then again i dont really know much about rims =)
I looked up the rims on the Gembella website and the pics below is what i found.
I ve checked the Cargraphic website too.
How do i figure out which ones they are? i ve looked at the rims but dont really see anything to differentiate them. Help me out buddy.
Also, maybe you might know about the springs of the car, even the dealership didnt know. The car is lowered already but i m not sure what springs they are. I heard that pss10 are the best. Thinking about getting them but stupid if they are already on =)
Im planning on taking to the car to Scan soon but if you know that would be even better.
thanks again 996Carrera

Unfortunately, no longer a good idea, not until it's repaved.
A group of us, seven cars, went up there last month. Two cars returned with bent wheels. It'd be okay at the posted limits but if you want to "enjoy" that awesome stretch of road a car with 16" wheels and tires (larger sidewalls) and softer suspension would be best. It's bad enought that it was pulled from our fall schedule.
