Default Just picked up another P-car....

OT, but i just got myself this high mileage, one owner local car.

1995, manual C2.
Very excited and just wanted to let everybody know

I recently sold my Rubicon and Shelby GT500 therefore another P-car purchase is not far behind this little 993...

Great 993! Careful about replacing those wheels. Most after market wheels draw your attention away from the basic lines of the car. They are much better than most other wheels, such as lobsters. IMO you should keep it AS IS, unless you find something that really rolls your socks up.

On second thought, I would consider removing the rear wiper.

Right said about wheels.Only change if other original 993 wheels are found in a better design.

Those are the 16 rims. If you want to go bigger and stay subtle you can always upgrade to the 17" cup wheels. Tons of good factory 18" wheels as well that fit. Congrats!

I was going to do the 17" Cups but these original 16"s are starting to appeal to me.

I might just keep her bone stock in all her glory as it is rare.
Not many people rolling on the stock 16" wheels anymore.

Welcome to the Basket handle brigade. I had a 95 Guards Red and I still think the 993 has the best lines of any Pcar.

Fikse FM10's look pretty good on a 993. These are 18's.

Correct Porsche-size 16" tires are getting very hard to find. 17's and 18's are still readily available.

18" "MY02" wheels off a 996.2 are one of the best looking OE wheels for a 993. Cheap and readily available too.

I want a G and a 993. G has been my favorite for many years, but they are very $$$$. 993 are affordable to buy, and keep.

Need a warehouse first.
