The wheels are Rotiform NUEs. My new forged wheels for the 911 will also be from them and I should have them on the car come spring.

Beautiful car! Congrats on the purchase.
Now I just need to find another silver 4S for sale in the Seattle area for myself :-)

Not the DABs. My friend Greg bought the infamous battleship gray C4S from Brian at Rotiform, so I don't want to have the same wheels as him in the same city!

I'm torn between the SJC, TMB and IND. I will be doing 19x9.5 front and 19x11.5 rear.

SJC


TMB


IND


Thoughts?

I know Brian and the guys pretty well. I put on www.southernworthersee.com every year. They are a show sponsor. If I had to choose between those three it would have to be the SJC. However I LOVE the new wheel they did for RWB. But I would want chrome lip and brushed face.

Looks like you found a real bargain. Welcome to your new obsession. LOL. On the wheels go with the TMB, but lose the chrome lips. It keeps the original flavor of the twists, with a more agressive, modern look.

The other two choices look good, but would be a PITA to clean. I'd rather spend two hours it would take to properly clean them driving the car and getting them dirty again.

Picked up a set of Fabspeed muffler bypasses today. It's hard to tell just how loud they are on the YouTube videos, so I guess I'll just have to install them and see how it goes.
