We had our original tyres fitted onto the new alloys by Porsche shop in Birmingham for £900 including balancing and fitting. Got to put my old turbo 2 alloys on fleebay now.
 
They look great. My only concern with this type of design is whether you will need to spend hours with an old toothbrush to keep the narrow gaps clean of brake dust?
 
looks great. Are the wheels exact same size and offsets as originals? Has the car been lowered at all?
 
They are from Porsche Shop and they are 18". The car hasnt been lowered at all just the standard springs and suspension.
 
ORIGINAL: Diesel130

The gaps are wider than you perhaps think, I've found a single wipe of a sponge cleans them fine.. but then again I've never won a concours [:eek:]...
My 996TT wheels were a dream to clean, they don't really get any easier... these are more work but look great when clean.

Very good copies and look great Steve.
