Question thoughts on 19" turbo II wheels (image fixed)

hey listers... still in search for the right "street" wheels for the cab. will purchase as of the new year, so still time to look around... currently have the 18" hollow spokes... waiting to wear the tires out, will eventually use those for track de's etc.

what do you think of these 19's??? i was kinda liking them... but are they a little "rice"? (got these off ebay of a '95. c.u. is kinda crappy.


!!!thanks4allinput!!!
these are them---->

Those look like the 18" Technology rims you said you currently have. Maybe posting the pic didn't work ... ??

Visually, it's hard to see the difference between those and regular 18's.

IMHO 993s look better with 18" and 996 look better with 19"

The 993 looks "over-tired" or "over-wheeled" with the 19" rims. Reminds me of a Hot Wheels car.

I'd stick with the 18's.

LOL ...my wife just said the same thing.
I think the dark coloured car, with the wheels being silver, exagerates that look.

Personally, I LOVE them
May I ask what sort of $$$'s did they cost ?
Rim width ?
Tyre size ?

I would tend to agree, the 993 looks better with 18"s. There's too much wheel there for a 993.

especially love the "ick" comment. hee hee...

Q---> the wheels are Mille Miglia Cup 3's (silver).... wheels alone are fairly reasonable (just presently hard to get)-----> $1500. u.s. (set of 4) 8.5" frt.& 10"rears, tire sizes: 235/35-19 &285/30-19.

i like the original turbos & thought 19's might be kinda cool for street... still not sure... will check 'em out in person.

cheers

Those must weight a ton! What are they, 30 lbs each? All they need are some spinners and you're set! Bling, Bling!
