New Look Wheels 2010

[J.C944TurboMan]

I have recently been toying with a set of 17inch Cayman wheels and this is the end result ! Is it thumbs up or thumbs down ? Thanks

All feedback welcome thanks

Thumbs up from me, they suit the car nicely. Easy to sort out the offsets?

 

[mike220]

Yeah I like them []

 

[Copperman05]

I like them but perhaps I'd like them more in a dark grey or gunmetal? Is that a US spec 944?

Bit of a tradionalist and usually only like original 944 wheels, apart from Cup 1 and Speedline Splits ,Veloce, but i could live with them...............absolutely a USA spec, hate the rear bumpers but like the sidelights.

Thumbs up from me too, they really suit the car. []

How hard would it be to swap the US rear bumper for a normal one? The mountings are the same aren't they?

A good way to spend a lot less than on the wheels! []

 

[944 man]

Very easy.

Very easy.

It does ruin the rear, I don't mind the side reflectors but the bumper doesn't even line up. A Transit "Safe-T" girder is a better fit. [:'(]

They would go straight on , I have 15mm spacers on the rear and 7mm on the front wheels . I think it needs 15mm spacers on the front to push the wheel out a little . I had to change the tyres , I have fitted 225/50 17 Rears and 205 / 50 17 Front tyres . The 944T handles really well even in the wet ! It is a little tale happy but very forgiving ! I had some 18inch on before with very wide rear tyres 265 on the rears and found that even with the front wheels turned they pushed the car in a straight line not allowing the rear end to give !

Most of you know this car as I have posted several times before and we have discussed the US spec rear bumper before and yes it does look rather big ! I have not got round to changing it yet and the rear bumper provides more weight on the back end so works well to hold the back end to the road !!!!

Thank you all for your feedback best regards J.C

I love forged D90`s or Cup 1`s all else look aftermarket and too modern and the cast D90`s are boring.

Personal view of course []

 

[944 man]

The only newer wheels that really suit the 944, I feel, and I have several sets of wheels which dont (Boxster & 993 Cup3s): are the BBS Sport Classics (993.362.124.51 & 993.362.128.51).

928 Gullideckels (forged Fuchs discs) look nice too btw...
