I don't normally do these advice threads ............................. but am a bit stuck this time! My pop has a 928 which has been gathering dust and cobwebs for a while, he's now in the process of getting it cleaned up and back on the road. It currently has 18" Carrera style wheels (see below) but he 'hates' these and wants to change them to 19" something or other and drop it a little. I took a run down to a local Carnoisseur for a nosey at their wheel range and have also just spent an hour googling but to no avail - there are very very few modified 928's out there to get ideas from. It seems to be a very difficult car to pick a wheel for which actually suits it - anyone have any suggestions? No TSW venoms please
Nice motor ... I always liked these Porsche wheel, done in hyper silver I think would look well against the colour.
Chris, they're a nice rim but they're the standard rim which originally came with the car he wants something new. I think they can only be got in 17" anyway
Keskin KT2 Cup Wheels 18" PORSCHE 911,964,928,944,993 on eBay (end time 09-Oct-09 22:59:38 BST) 18" BBS LM STYLE ALLOY WHEELS FOR PORSCHE on eBay (end time 20-Oct-09 09:47:20 BST) BBS RS MEGA RARE 16" Porsche SHOW CON 8.0" FR+RR on eBay (end time 26-Sep-09 22:15:34 BST) The aboves a re 16's but thought id fire them up any way
Does he not want standard rims at all? i think a special edition one of these came with pepper-pot like wheels, would look the part
off topic but there is one of these sitting in thiepval avenue off cregagh doesnt look like it been moved for over a year infected with rust and bubbly paintwork. such a waste!! i want one someday. i have to agree top wheels look very big already
I like the idea of the LM's ... maybe even 18" would do ... body coloured centres and carbon centre caps with look the business on that motor ...
Gaz i think you defo need something chunky for that bodyshape. 5 spokes are a bit predictable but will look shweet. What about these deep dish jobs? I think 18 is plenty but who am i to stop you da pimping!
Im probably gonna get cup ones on the 944 at some stage Dunno how they would look on a 928 though Oh yeh they are 17's
Any OEM Porsche wheel for me. Nice quiet cars. 19" - the ride will be terrible, guaranteed. I would stay with the OEM 17", or possibly 18" if size is really important to him. Lower - oh yes, get Nitrons and fresh bushes in there
If he hates the wheels on it theres no hope for improving...Turbo wheels are the perfect wheel for a 928!
x2. D-d-don't do it! Couldn't disagree more. Like the owner I reckon they're one of Porsche's worst looking wheels. Ah well, here's a few suggestions. 18" Speedline Alessio 3-piece 18" RH 3.6 ??? Borbet A 3-piece Ruf Classic (Speedline) Fikse FM5 Fikse FM10 997 Carrera III But if it's practicality he needs ...
