I am shopping for new tires right now and wish i could go up to the 17in but can't see spending the $ for the bigger wheels . How much for the welded wheel? What ever you get are going to look tits on your car .

I was looking at the Excellence article in respect of this car (http://www.early911sregistry.org/jCalzia.html) last night. With the black, early style painting the rim to spoke mouting hardware looked like it fully blended in.

I suspect Jack (and others) have seen the car in the flesh (metal?) and can give a better idea.

The idea of a set of custom offset 16s which allowed 225s on the back of a narrow car (ie a 911R offset) is semi-attractive at this stage (except for the (I imagine) unholy cost).
