Default Anybody have Champion RG5 wheels on their 993?

Hey all,

So I'm seriously looking at a few sets of Champion Monolite RG5 wheels (a couple of sets from Rennlisters, in fact). I'm having trouble finding a photo of 18" RG5 (and NOT 19" RG5 or RG5Bs) on a 993. Does anybody happen to have them on their 993 now (or have photos of them on a 993 previously)? Alternately, any other reviews of the wheels would be much appreciated. Thus far, I've heard nothing but good things.

Thanks!

Tough crowd

Alternately, is anybody more internet-savvy than me able to find a photo of RG5s on a 993? I can't even find one of those visualization/online wheel configurators to show me what they'd look like on a 993.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks. Definitely had a look through and didn't see any, but I'll double-check!

Check Wheel Enhancment's web site: http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...elDetail&id=57. RG5's are a long time favorite, great choice.

I am not sure if these are the exact wheels or not. I think this car has similar wheels. Here is the original thread

Sorry to hijack the thread, though I have a set of 18" RG5's in narrow body offsets that I would be willing to sell. I used them on my 1988 951 for a while (same offsets as the nb 993) but I doubt that I will be using them again as I love the Ruf modulars I have now.

VERY light wheels.

Please PM me if you are interested...

That's my car, and I'm running Fiske FM10. Similar look though.

Your car is the best looking one I have seen by far.

Thanks for the pictures guys. I do like the RG5s a lot. I have a widebody 993 so yours won't work for me Nurburger, but thanks for the suggestion. Great to know they are light, also strong enough to use daily as long as I'm reasonably careful?
