Diameter's a bit much for a 930 if you ask me.

It's definitely got the "wagon wheels with rubber bands" look going!

Customer really loved the final look of the wheels, actually I think he asked for 19" but we agreed the 18" would be the best of the two....

Nice fit to update the look if you want to promote the vehicle into looking a bit more modern...

The wheels are sweet, but they belong on a 997 twin turbo...

I have 18 inch Kinesis wheels on a 78 930 not lowered with no issue.

I like the wheels but not so much on a 930.

Didn't your mothers teach you that if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.

It's really a shame.
I guess I am more of a purist than I thought.
Kink of makes me want a 997....no, not really.

Personally, I think they suck - too much bling factor - but that's just me. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that jazz.....glad the customer likes them!
Oh, and I never was one to listen to my mom.
