NEW: 993 Concave Wheels, PHOTOS!!!

The fit you see her is a 19x8.5 (45) and 19x10 (50) which is considered to be an aggressive fit for some but for others it might be just right.

That's an extremely aggressive fit, some might say they don't fit at all, I'm one of them

I think the ride height doesn't help the look of the wheels. The car looks like a 4x4 with those wheels and that ride height. I think the car would have to be pretty low to pull those wheels off.

with such a tiny sidewall it definitely needs to ride lower i think.

Definitely has a bit of a Donk feel.

Can you get the same concave face running an 18"?

What ever happened to the 02MY Carrera 'lightweight' replica wheels you had a couple years ago? Look good on just about anything & the price was right..

What at exactly is concave about these wheels? If anything, they look convex with all that material sticking out over the sidewalls. No offense, but that looks like a pretzel baker had a try at wheels - way too busy - and the ride height and and stance reminds me of an Impala with 28" dubs.

Let's see something more "period correct"! Fikses are not made any more and are the Kinesis still available? Even a good RS replica would sell well ...

Yea I have to agree. They look nice, but just a tad too big.

That car looks like a roller skate. What is with people wanting giant wheels on cars, I just don't understand it.

+1...Those wheels are an open invitation to curb rash of epic proportion.

Oh, first post with such an important message. No affiliation, right?

Now I see it, I was too busy looking at the wheels.

Sorry
