Wheel ideas

[bennyboy]

Thought I would post this because wheels are a key subject on this forum and the ones fitted here are quite readily availabel and tend to be quite cheap. I really didn't think they would look that could and as such dismissed them in my search for wheel happiness, but I believe thi simage proves me wrong! (Good stance also goes a lon

g way..)

I really prefer yours, those other wheels might look alright if they had painted centres to hide the spoke shape which I'm not convinced work so well with the body shape of the 944. Then again... I say go for them and sell me your old wheels []

 

[bennyboy]

Ha! Mine are not for sale Peter! Thought it might help other though...

Alright Ben , must say the 10 Spoke wheels look great , Can you provided a side on view of your own Black and silver wheels as they also seem to look great ! I would say from experience wheels are like fashion every season you see different looks on other 944's and this then prompts you to want a different look on your own car , especially if you keep the same car for a good few years then you might get bored of the current look and seek something different not realising that you already had a great looking car . I've had people say to me , O I preferred the other wheels you had on the car , to which I would reply very nicely we all have different taste's and I prefer these wheels now. I am the one that spends most time with my car and basically I fit wheels to please my self not others , so though others cast there comments , this should really not matter as you should be please with your own creation.
I think the wheels on this pic look pretty tasty , but what do you think of the tailgate ? I am tempted just to have a different look ! Best regards J

Not my cup of tea [:'(] And you lose all that luggage space.

Thats the beauty of our cars. A genuine usable performance vehicle that you can put the shopping in. Or two mountain bikes and a tent for the weekend []

Hi JC, can't say I'm a fan of that white car - although I do love a good set of BBS rims and must say they're quite a rarity on our cars. I'm afraid I don't have a full side-on view of my car with it's current wheels. I do however, have a side view of one of the rims to give you a better idea of how they look. By the way, I like the look of your front end in your avatar - what splitter are you using? Any more pics?

Have seen one in the flesh - looked cheap and nasty IMHO [] and as already stated - you lose lots of the luggage space that makes a '44 such a practical device.

While I agree with you in principle I can't personally see how anything can be better than Cup 1s, and I don't like non-Porsche wheels on Porsches at all, with the exception of some BBS styles.

That white car has been universally slagged on here several times before; you might be the first member to say they like it. Go on - buy one and give us all a laugh. The lumpy fibregalss would look especially good in black []

Alright Ben ,Firstly your wheels look the Dog's , really nice and I would be more than happy to wear those wheels on my 944T , regarding the splitter on my post The Sly Fox , here goes again mate : I got the Splitter from Pro-9 Porsche LTD there number is 01564829911 , got from ebay at £149.00 plus £15.00 delivery the mould is good but just slightly out on one side , need to be up close to notice pal , very strong and tested on extra large foxes ! No cruelty to animal was done during the test !
As for the Avatar do you mean the US Wonder Bra ? A little kinky look for my fair lady or what ! Can not drive the car with it on as it's hides the front Reg. But would be different for shows and keep the front end warm in winter ! Only kidding !
