What do you guys think about turbo 996 wheels on red convertible 911 slantnose?
I think it's a no no regarding the look but well... it's the only cheap OEM 18" way, and good too right

IMO, the modern wheels just do not look correct on the '80s cars. I'd spend the money on aftermarket, like Fikse or Kinesis.

I have 996 gemballa wheels on my slantnose with 1 1/2 spacers on the front and 3' on the back my car looks great with them on , they are the gemballa lemanns wheels 18" 9" on the front and 18" 11" on rear.
Hope this helps
George
