ROFL! And thanks for the kind words. I'm really set on the Fikses, BBS and/or the HRE Competition Series.

The sales manager of the local Toyota dealership has a 99 996 with 19" chrome wheels. I cringe every-time I see his car in town.

I spoke to Wheel Enhancement this week about a track wheels for my SC. They stopped recommending Kinesis wheels and are on a wait and see pattern regarding their quality and customer service. They are recommending Fikse and HRE Comp as you do Alex.

Yup, I spoke to Allen for about a half hour. Is there a BBS wheel in 18x9 and 18x11 that would work for a 1978 911SC with 9" and 11" flares?

stop w/ the implied racist commentary man. y'all know what i mean. i know you've been around here and all for a while, but you're sounding like a bigot w/ your post there.

i'm not too enthusiastic about the ownership change either, but these types of acquisitions happen ALL THE TIME.

For sure there is... either the race or street wheels.

Ease up there Choi. Obviously you can't play in the sandbox so just stay out. As for racism. There has been ZERO racism in this thread. Stereotyping? Of course. Racism? Not a chance. You're really grasping on that one. So what race was I referring to? Last time I checked there was NO mention of race in my post (or by anybody). Get over your PC self.
