Helio,
WOW, they complete the proper 911 GT look for your car! absolutely stunning!!!

[heliolps2]

Thanks, tomorrow is gonna be warmer I should get a chance to mount the rest of them, and take some pic's, I have waited 16 years to find these wheels,very hard to come buy, as some of you know my car was converted back in 1996 to the 993 911GT look. so I'm very excited , and to have a extra set of wheels for the autocross and DE's is awesome.

Thanks Jim

Helio

I have one that I am about to do the same thing with. Either that or I am going to build a flight/driving simulator and use it.

Helio,

Not trying to hi-jack this thread, but don't forget, you owe us more pics of the new console. We need to see what you did on the center panel....Thanks....

[heliolps2]

Looks very nice. Perfect.

[SCHNELE]

Wicked!

[SweetWaterSurprise]

Ugh I need a set like that for my car.

[Jim Dorociak]

I like, I like. . . . It sure looks like we nailed the sizes during our many discussions. I knew you were excited during the build and they sure look outstanding on your car. Jim jdorociak@gmail.com

Lookin' good Helio, nice work Jim!

Looking good bud

[heliolps2]

thanks Mitch and Brian , I'm extremely happy , they are just amazing, i'm glad that i went with the factory color for the centers, I almost went with bright silver like the 993 RS, Jim does great work, my new 964 mirror wont work any more I had to order a new OEM 95 993 which is different than all the others, which remind me , If you are thinking of doing this update, you need to know, the rear glass and seals that I ordered are from 1995 , 1996 and up are different because of the third brake mounting ,

What offsets did you go with on these wheels?
The rears looks great!

[heliolps2]

well I can tell you that on the rear rim , the outer rim half is 5 1/4 inch lip and inner rim half is 5 1/2 and the wheel center is 1/4 in = 11 inchs , remember my 911 is 76 911S not a turbo car , so have to use a 2 inch adapter, the turbos comes with a 1 inch spacer from the factory, I have buddy with a 930 , I can try putting one of my wheels on it and see what work. offset hmm I'll have to get back to you on that
