I don't normally care for aftermarket rims but those are very nice. Congrats.

Hey David,

So what size are those new wheels? Do they feel as light as your old fuchs? I've heard phenominal things about Fikses.

Cheers,
Steve

The wheels are 8X17 and 10X17 with 225 in the front and 275 in the rear. Believe it or not there is not much of a weight difference and some of the difference is due to the wider tires. They are 3-piece forged with the bolts on the inside. I like this setup because I think it looks "cleaner" than having the bolts on the outside.

Hi Amir, it's even nicer than it looks.. it is one sweet 930
Thats the only picture I have. he sent it to me after he had Rims installed. Back when he was trying to decide what rims to buy I offerd up my rims for him to see what they look like on his car..we only did one side of course.. thats all it took.. he was sold.. 2 weeks later he had them. and as you can see he's very happy..

Will you guys knock it off please.

I keep wrestling with doing a wide body kit on my current ride or just waiting a couple of years and finding a nice turbo.

Seeing those pics does NOT help one bit.

Sweet cars, enjoy them.

Scott

Looks great.....are those Kuhmo 712's??

If so, make sure they DO NOT get low on tire pressure....
$16k worth of damage to my '91 C2 from me not checking pressure for a few weeks

A buddy of mine happened see a few tire carcasses on the freeway last week...both of them Kuhmo 712's

Great wheel choice. I'm sort of partial to 5 spoke wheels on 911's.

Here's my 930 FM/5 photo contribution.

I really like Fiskes as an alternative to Fuchs. They all look awesome.

Pictures just don't describe how nice the Fiske wheels look. Are those from Wheel Enhancement? The valve stem looks familiar. I second the comment about easy cleaning compared to the FM-10s.

Fast and Keith,

both beautiful cars (Keith, I like the black centers, looks good with your color). Hey Fast, I've seen you post on c2turbo.com, your car is unreal man, I really like it.

Hey everyone else, keep the Fikse pics coming!

Thanks, my logic was if black centers were good enough for the fuchs, they certainly would be for the fikses
