Bad Boys I

9dreizig · 07-16-2005, 06:31 AM

So my son was watching Bad Boys yesterday and said Dad that the 930 was just like mine including the wheels.. Sure enough the wheels are identical!! Problem is I just bought it and can't find out for sure what they are.. Help!!!

I am pretty sure the Bad Boys car is a 1994 3.6 turbo with the standard Speedlines. I dont think they're a match to your wheels.

They used several cars in the movie. I think someone either here or rennlist bought it

They look like speedlines to me. they should say on the rim area.(if you look close enough)

965 3.8 wheels

Very nice looking wheels but those are not the 18" Speedlines used on the '94 3.6 Turbo. those are an aftermarket copy. The real McCoy fetch around $4k when they show up for sale. I was looking at a set of the aftermarket version that you have for my SC. I don't know who the manufacturer is, but BW Motorsport was selling them in Excellence for about $2400 a while back. Again, very nice looking wheels.

Thanks Ted,
do you remember who made the copies that you were looking at ??

Those wheels are made in Japan. They are pretty good wheels, but I don't recall ever seeing a brand name associated with them.

Yep, turbo 3.6 (speedline) replicas. I think BW sells the same style you have pictured. The best replicas of those wheels that I have seen are made by RH Alurad. The "spokes" are better contoured and more accurate than the other replicas IMO. I don't think BW sells them, but a quick google should find you a few suppliers.

here are a few pics for comparison:

Real deal:

Mine just say speedline and they're 17's

Todd, I agree with Eric, RH Alurad makes the closest copy. I don't recall the specifics of the manufacturer. Check out BW Motorsports in Excellence. They don't have a website but can be reached at (618) 622-0524

Yep - needs to loose an inch or two.

I think it's a combo of US ride height and low profile tires. Personally I would lower it a bit and put a higher profile tire on.

Great color! Can I see more? And what is the color??

jpahemi · 07-29-2005, 07:16 PM

Is that Amazon Green?

My friend was going to buy it, so we went down to some Santa Monica warehouse and took a look at it. It was a bit abused (not shocked there) and they wanted $55K for it. My friend passed on it.

He later found a 964 3.6 Turbo in Georgia that was about $8K less expensive, and with lower miles.

Yeah, not too shabby! Regarding the color, I'm pretty sure it's the updated "IrishGruen" (Irish Green). If not, it's a custom paint-to-sample color. Here are a few more pics:

Beeeeutiful,
lower it.

I had a brand new 1976 MG midgit that was British racing green and my Fiancee total'd it in '76 when she was with another guy. It still had paper plates. Your car brought back beautiful memories(not of her).

I love your car, Dave
