I love the Carrera IIIs. Bought a WB set (11" rears, more concave design) last year. Then over the winter I bought a set of BBS LMs and RH 3.6s to replace them with. In the end I got rid of both of those sets because the Carrera IIIs look so good on our cars. Simple and classy!

Ilko, you made the right choice. I first saw these C III wheels on your car a few months ago, and knew I had to have a set. Yep the concavity on 11" rears are sick!

Your car looks great. Amazing paint finish and gloss!

Are the front wheels convex and the rears concave? Am I seeing that correctly?

Nice! I liked your other wheels, but not as much as these. 5 Spokes fit the 911 form better IMHO. These new rims are much easier to keep crazy clean, front to back, also.

Soo nice!! Like everyone has said these wheels are simple and classy but work so well on the 993 its not even funny. Saw a new 997 rocking these today on the highway, I wanted him to pull over and trade me.

I am running these wheels on my 95 cab. Can I add 15mm H&R spacers to the fronts? I am running 225/40/19 Michelin Pilots and they would appear to clear with the spacers without issues. Any advice would be appreciated.

19"? Adding 15mm spacers will cut it really close. are you lowered? You might want to be careful when hitting road bumps while the wheels are turned. Wheels may bounce up and impact the fender.

Those look great. I also liked the Sport Design wheels you had, but these look fantastic as well!

P-Daddy - poor typing on my part, 18" not 19" - yes car is lowered to RS height. No impact to this point, not sure I need spacers, car handles fine with current set up. Used spacers on my old SC to push out the wheels and fill up the wells. I'm not sure if spacers would help me in any way.
