Agreed - Keep em! The best looking wheel on a 993.

So, Nathan, I'm curious. Was there a final answer on what was moved out and what was kept? Personally, I like all of them.

My sentiments exactly...

^^^ another +1, i wish i could have justified spending the $ for a set. The weight thing is pretty irrelevant for a car that never leaves the street like mine.

Currently I have the Speedlines on the car however I think the FM10's are my favorite. I put the GT3 wheels on my previous 993 I sold lister MGerber and sold the MY02's to another lister. The RUF's are for sale and the Speedlines will be shortly.

I wish you hated the FM10's, because they're my favorite too! If you get tired of them, then please "find" me.

Out of curiosity, what is the value of the Speedlines in NB fitment? And if there's a line, please put me on the list.

From my perspective, Porsche has done a great job on designing their own wheels and I love the classic look. What looks better on an early 911 than a nice set of Fuchs. So with that, the technology wheels (hollow twists) get my nod every time. Ask yourself this. What do you think enthusiast will be looking for to place on 993's 20 years from now?

Not much love for the OEM Sport Designs....I think they look great on the 993. They would be my next choice for OEM after MY 02s
