New Wheels!

I finally made a decision and bought my new wheels. It was a tough choice, but as soon as I saw them on my car, I knew it was right. Sorry to Ponchobroke for borrowing his look, but I figured since he was in Oregon he wouldn't mind

Looks good if not authentic. BTW, 'shoes' typically means 'tires' in used car dealer speak (not the wheels).

Are those take offs from a new P car? Are they any lighter than the stock wheels?

Very nice. Those would be my number 2 choice. Now all you need to do is drop the car 1"

(I agree with the shoes comment - I was expecting a tire-thread)

Excellent! Graham already said it... time to drop and give me 4 (1 inch/corner)

As far as coping... It think I can live with it. My last count was less than 5 or 6 in the US?

Randy - Love the wheels (used to have them on a 2002 C2). I have a 96 C2 very similar to yours (Polar Silver with full Red leather interior - very red). Was curious if you have any pix of the chestnut brown (that you say looks red).

Thanks,
Grant

I also had a great experience with Wheel Enhancements in Culver City (So. Calif). Your car looks good. Malibu, anyone?

Is the PSS9 setup that Ponchobroke has the only way to get that rideheight? Will H&R's and Bilstein HD's get me there?

Randy - The wheels look great. An excellent choice.

recently I saw these wheels on a black 993 cab in person. They are awesome looking wheels on our cars! So much that I have been looking for a set of used ones so I dont feel so bad having them powder coated a darker color, for yellow car.

Looks great!
