Default new shoes (Sumi) and socks (RS Speedlines)

Yes I know a thread is worthless without pictures, but I got the RS Speedlines put on today, replaced the crapped out lugs with new black ones, OEM black wheel locks, and Sumitomo HTR ZIIIs. Thanks to all on other threads who praised the Sumis for their value. Thanks also to those that advocated the RS Speedlines as the wheel of choice for a street 993. I couldn't be happier that I got them. Of course it's raining today, car and wheels are filthy,tires feel really good and the wheels don't feel like boat anchors. I'll post a photo when I have time to clean up. Of course now I've started another slippery slope toward RS splitters and the RS rear wing, but long term goals are a good thing

Sounds great. Looking forward to the pics!

Have you, or anyone else, priced these recently at Sunset et al?

Yes I did (from Sunset). $4800 + shipping (est around $120).

I found a set from a seller on Pelican that is easily 95/100, $4k shipped. The savings paid for mounting balancing Sumitomos and new black lugs and OEM locking lug set.

Here's his thread on Pelican, so these are THE wheels, just not on my car:

I am very jealous. At least I know what my car would look like with Speedlines...

More/better pics please. Speedlines look super on NB 993s, I may be biased however.

My old wheels, my wheels!!!!

No, but really, those look great. I needed to put some 17" wheels and rubber on my car, as the roads in my town are just in awful shape. I've had MY02's on my car and couldn't countenance having three sets of wheels...so it was unfortunately time to unload the Speedlines.

David, they look great. Enjoy.

somehow seeing your avatar in the same post as your one-word response makes me flinch... ;-)

thanks
