Default Bought my self a Targa today

Hi folks, back here again since I sold my 964 a couple of weeks agao. Was in the mood to buy a 4S, but ended up with a Targa in Iris Blue. I have to do something about the look.......any sugestions on rims etc...

Was thinking of:
Turbo rims
4s front bumper
Red rear light

Default wheels

I just changed my wheels to Sport Classics.
I have Veloce 3.6, 18s that have less than 50 miles + tires.
Paid $1600 for wheels, + painted to BBS Gold and OE Chrome Center Caps.
Would like to sell for $1400,shipping inc in US
for NB, I used spacers

Hi Polman,
Are your current wheels (on the picture) genuine 18" Rennsport? (Front 8Jx 18" ET 52
Rear 10J x 18" ET 65) and if yes in what condition and what price would you sell them for? Please PM me if you wish. If we make a deal shipping would be within Europe...
And by the way I love Iris Blue and Targa...

Cheers
Chris

Default ^^^^ I agree with ABIAZIS ^^^^

Targa wheels are unique.... they are not 'trendy' but look great and are as rare as the Targa itself.

Would you dye your beautiful blonde wifes' hair brunette? She would still be beautiful but the classic Swedish blonde looks best (oh my!). Why change a classic?

Targa's Rock! Enjoy the ride.

Ohhh.... and more pics please!

Congrates... great looking car.

Keep the wheels. They belong on the Targa. Every time I see a Targa with out the correct wheels it stands out as not been complete. They were an option for other 993s but were included on all Targas.

Don't do a thing to it for a few months. Live with what you have and then let the mods begin.
