Default Need help to decide !

Guys I am buying this red 964 3.6 Turbo , it comes with as I understand Keskin wheels which I like more then Speedlines which is on yellow.
Seller said he can swap the speedline wheels from yellow to my red car.
What do you think should I stay with keskin or change to speedline ?
Keskin looks more deeper ) and I like them better how they look.

What you suggest guys ?
Also as I understand Keskin is one piece and speedline 3pieces .

Thanks

I like the wheels on the red car. Based on esthetics only as I am not familiar with pros and cons of these wheels . Other than the fact that real speedlines are rather expensive, perhaps so are the Keskins.

What about value and quality of Speedline wheels?
Maybe it's better to take car with speedline and keep them ? And buy a new RH

I owned a Turbo 3.6 for 13 years. In my opinion, they deserve to have original wheels, which are iconic.

Agree, RH wheels for the turbo is a good option. That's what I have on my 964. turbo envy.

Enjoy your new ride.

Keskins are very heavy if that's a concern for you.

I have RH36's on my '91 964Turbo,... but if I could afford them, I'd go with the original Speedlines ($9k US),...

Maybe you like the Keskin because of the reduced number of rivet bolts?
I think they only have 32,... verses... the RH36's have 38 (similar to Speedlines).

I like the originality LOOK of the 1994 Speedline (w/ 38 rivet bolts)) & the weight of the 3-piece forged.

of course it is a bit easier to clean around only 32 rivet bolts, compared to the 38. :-)

Interesting that the yellow Turbo has the Turbo S Leichtbau insignia on the lower valance.

No brainer...
Got to be the original Speedlines as they're expensive and hard to come by...
You can then always pick up a set of Keskin's (they're cheap) to make your car how you like it.

Put the Speedlines in storage for when you sell, as they'll command a higher asking price or sell the speedlines to fund more mods
