Yes they are! I think they are the stickiest tires I've ever owned and in any weather ... do you run these?

They're solids, I prefer them for street use ... not so much 'feedback' through the wheel and much more durable ..

Yup, I have been running them for a little over a year now, & they are done. Feel the same way, I just LOVE them! I kicked *** all last year Auto-Xing on them, so much so, that I was beating the class above me, with GT3's & 997 Turbos.

Yeah, I think you're right, especially with Arena Red. I do dig the total paint-out on some colours though:

Cool fact! I did not know that.

Yeah .. some work better than others, that's for sure. And I'm sure ... somebody will post a picture here of a 964 with painted out wheels that they ordered that way from the factory any minute now ..

Perfect JJP! I like both, the classic silver and the multi-coloured. :thumb up:

I have a idea for my Speedster-rims for future, but first the car must be ready for this summer. That's a project for next year.

Man JP, I got a hankering for your car now. Inbetween your and PStraub's car, jeez I can't sleep at night.

This photo here is the kitties nuts. Great choice, but I fear its going to cost me money.
