Just whats not on the cars?

1 set of BBS, 1 set of Phone Dials, 1 set of Cups, 6 Fuchs, 1 set of cookies, 1 set of AR wheels, 1 set of BBS Ferrari Challenge rims (I'd sell them, they are 18" rims that will fit a 355 or 360 for sure, probably an F430 also), 1 set of Fliks, 1 set of 15" MINI wheels, and a boatload of spares (no, I won't sell my 951 spare to the 356 crowd!). I am actually in the market for some 997 wheels, and would probably sell at least 1 set of '87+ 951 offset wheels (16"). Oh wait, also 1 set of Kazeras, and another set of Spec Miata rims (I don't even know what brand they are!).

I've only had 5 different sets of wheels, soon to be 6, on my car since I bought her 6 years ago:

6/7 X 16" Fuchs
7/8 X 16" Fuchs (fully polished for starters, then polished petals/black insets)
8/9 X 16" HRE Fuchs look to clear my 993 calipers all around
7.5/9 X 17" Kinesis K27's
8/9 X 16" BBS gold (on currently)

Coming soon: the first public set of 7.5/9 X 17 Forged Fuchs knock-offs from Jeff Alton in RSR finish

Yes, I think I'm a whore!

Okay- I've got some Fuchs (make that quite a few Fuchs), some Fikses, enough Cookie Cutters for a few sets of Hoosiers, some Phone Dials, some 17s from a Boxster S, and other wheels that fit Chevys, Jeeps, and Miatas.

-BUT-

I can quit any time I want!! Really I can!!

Well not to YOUR extent apparently, but:

Bought my 911 with '92 C2 5-spokes. Bought a set of 16x6 / 16x7 Fuchs. Bought a set of Cup 1's. Sold the Cup 1's. Buying a set of BBS RS's this month. That's car 1.

Car 2, I have 2 sets for, stock & Mille Miglia MM11-2's. Car 3 I have 2 sets for, stock & steelies for snows.

Old setups, I had stock, a set of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's, Team Dynamics Rim2000's, a set of OZ F1's, and another set of stockers w/ snows.

Currently right now, I have (6) sets of wheels for the mrs. & I. I love wheels. I just can't afford my habit is all. Keeps me grounded though.

I believe these belong to Speedware Motorsports in Redmond, Washington. I see his for sale ads for wheels everywhere...and I mean everywhere.

360 of course no problems, 348/355 you need fair bit of camber in rear or machining tiny bit off from rear wheels centers as they come outwards to very edge of fender.
