Would a et50 on the front be a better option? or is it down to the configuration of the 3 wheel parts that restrict what you can get in the offset department?

We could get 71mm rear lip/dish out the rears for the 993 on a 56 offset. I see yours is 62mm. Not sure if thats the max you can get (may be a 964 thing).
Remember any special finishes on the lip (anodizing of fancy chrome) will be an absolute PITA to repair should you curb or damage the wheels (even with tyre changes etc). Not even really easy to do paint repair on anodize. in the end this scared me away from the bronze lip and fancy finishes. On a show car yes but on a go car too much worry....

These wheels are for posing mostly. I'll keep the cup's with track oriented tyres for the fun stuff

Just had a trawl through the sizing options and can now see the sizing limitations. Your kinda stuck as you say... The sweet spot for the front ET is right between the available sizes...

Here's a nice little GT3 medley from a European amateur driver known to me. He's very quick. They really mix it up there. Lovely track Monza and on my bucket along with Spa & Imola and HH short. Monza is super quick. 265kmph on the main straight and 240-255kmph in two other places on the track. Fun watching him dice it up with far quicker hardware. Expert driver. Very inspirational!

Looking good Warwick. Hundy club here you come!
Meanwhile I have a new found respect for composite builders. This is a messy and exacting process. Thank goodness I'm working on under body parts so the Virgos out there can't get too close. Not sure if I will sand and lacquer as the first low driveway will do the work in.

Now that's an interior! Torn between tacky and pretty cool!

This is nice for 60K. 2014 NZd new with 22k km and some nice upgrades. The traditional Defender has finished production. There will become classics like Longhoods ;-)
