Default 9ff 1 Piece Center Locking Wheels installed *PICS*

W00tey! what a sick set of rims! Install was very easy, just finding people with the right tools to torque down the new axel bolt was complicated. Special thanks to Jack @ G-Tek for lending us a torque multiplier to lock those things down. That was very nice of him.

Thanks to all our mechanics: Januz Socko, Kirk Reid, Brian, Mario, Joe and the rest who read these forums on occasion.

Rims are very light at roughly 20lbs and 21lbs respectivly. The fitment and offset is perfect, spacers be damned, who needs them in a case like this.

If anyone is interested in a setup like this, we are considering distribution of 9ff Parts in Canada.

Some pics for your viewing pleasure.

You gonna put on the side skirts and paint the bumperettes??? Wheels looks great but the front/rear spoiler just don't look right without the mkII side skirts.

they are indeed 18's sir, and in your dollars are roughly 4700 bucks (which includes the hub assembly).

funny u should mention that, bumperettes will be painted next week.
side skirts i'll do later on, now on funds now, i'm more concerned about getting some performance oriented stuff put on, like LWF per se.

but MK II skirts are on the agenda, maybe techart skirts depending on how they photochop up.

Sheesh....all that, and I've got a set of painted bumperettes to match, sitting with your name on 'em.

Looks fantastic.

I always wondered if I could get CGT type wheels for the 911. I wish someone made smaller versions of those wheels that would fit a C4S.

Could be one of the best looking wheels. How strong do you think they are? Are they for a Toronto daily driver?

Looks good, but not sure I would do it on a street car. A taco mk1 wing would look excellent on that car.
