Hey there Nippy - check out the below link. As it appears you wish to sell a Porsche part (i.e. wheels), perhaps the below link would be the best bet for you...

Agree?

Car went in for dyno and getting chipped today,will have results tomorrow.OZ wheels on the way.

Some pics from the Dyno.If anybody needs not only a good tuner but the BEST tuner,I highly suggest checking with Jason lee at Heritage Motorcar Research aka HMR here in St. Pete,Fl.He built my 911SC basically from the ground up and it is one hell of a car.So naturally I took my new 993 to him to get chipped and sorted.Its dome lights have been out for around 10 years and nobody could find the problem.Jason solved the problem in 3 hours.He found a wire in the harness that had been sliced when the PO had a stereo installed.So now the car lights up when I open the doors,small but big issue solved.He also tuned it and got more power through the entire RPMs/power band.It is noticeably torqueyer if I can say that.I will post the dyno charts soon as I get them via email from Jason.We also fixed the rear wiper,witch was completly severed and is NLA from Porsche.I found a new old stock on ebay for $200 (yikes).I had a small ding pulled from the passenger door,bled the brakes/clutch,and also did SWEPCO for the tranny.The car is now sorted to my liking besides the wheels,but that will be soon,like next week.Enjoy!!!

PS bad news is,having a bit of clutch slip and that could be the next job,but the cable needed adjustment and I have to keep an eye on it.

I can also vouch for Jason and HMR. I have his chip in my 95 993 as well and it makes a huge difference in torque. Great local resource for all things Porsche

Looks like he is setup well to dyno 911's, that fan above the engine lid is a great idea....

Nice results on the dyno.

Got some true 993 hollow spokes (narrow body fitment) for my car.Also ordered brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in factory sizes 225/40/18 fronts and 265/35/18 rears.Should free up some unsprung weight as the RUF wheels are nice but heavy.I will do a weight comparison once I get the RUFs off the car.

Great car and I love the twists. Thinking about those myself.

Question: What front bumper lower insert is that? (not the brake ducts but the lower insert).. Different than I've seen before.

[JuiceMan]

Loving the twists. Looks fantstic!

The twists look like a step down to me but if it makes you happy than I guess that's your prerogative.

Was more concerned about unsprung weight.I saved 7 pounds per front wheel by going to the 18x7.5 hollow spokes and i saved 3 pounds per wheel on the rears.20 pounds of unsprung weight and the newest Michelin Pilot Sport tires out,and this car was transformed.The RUFs are nice looking but very heavy.

Are you now selling the car?
