… I have read at times there are those amongst us who feel the original speed line RUF's only look good when mounted to but a few current tire manufacture's tires … with that said in your opinion …. what current tire manufacture offers that best tire profile … ? and how close does it come to having the heavy original Dunlop run flat " Denloc "sidewall profile with similar heavy raised circumferential rib … ?

RUF tended to strip everything out and make them a bit lighter. Mine is <2600lbs v 3,000 plus for similar vintage 930

Your car looks nice too.. However, the other car (the Targa) is definitely not slate blue!!

It looks very close to Aetna Blue.

It's custom. I wanted Steve McQueen's 930 slate gray, which is absolutely NOT the slate gray Rennbow and Porsche claim it is. His car has more of a green hue to it. We mixed up a slate gray that got close
