My Second 928, pics

Have always hankered after a GP White one black leather. After several years I found a good one. I thought it was 2 owner but turns out I'm the fourth. Only has 119,000kms on the clock with FSH. I have taken the wheels off in the pics and am getting them refinished with black centers and fresh polishing.

Nice looking car, GP is a color that might tempt me on another 928 as well.

The right car would be motivation to get all that pesky stuff done (except for the HOA)

*** HOA is walking softly, about to drop a $17k assessment on each unit for long standing wood issues.

Nice find!
My second 928 is also GP white with black interior and about the same 'miles' or whatever. I was so excited when I found it and still have it

She's pretty, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Nice Shark! What kind of wheels are those? They look similar to a set of Gotti's I have on my '88 S4. Good luck with the new toy!

The wheels are Simmons B45's. Not sure if they sell Simmons in the U.S. Good wheels. Light and three piece as well.
Made here in Australia.

Wheels came out not to bad. They have been neglected for the last 20 years so a little pitting is evident, but not to bad. Like them better in black.

Cheers. I stripped them. Had a shop polish the lip and another shop strip the old white paint.
Used engine enamel to paint the centers. Just need to drop the front an inch now.
