Hello all

I had to take a few insurance shots so could not resist 1 or 2 extras to post on here,please Let me know your thoughts.
I have done a few mods to it such as an RS wheel, refurbed the brakes, sports back box and cup 3's other wise fairly bog standard (yes except for the hideous side repeaters that I evidently borrowed from a chav at the local Mc Donalds carpark, they will be changed).

Hope you like it

Paul

IMO, looks totally wrong with those wheels, far too modern looking.

Each to their own, I like them but still have the original body coloured Fuchs in the garage for when I fancy a change. She's riding a bit high imo so going to lower it some time next year when I get time but only using the existing setup so prob only drop 20mm maximum.

Looks great. The wheels are interesting but I reckon it would look better with the Fuchs back on, though as you said each to their own. Hope you enjoy it driving

Have to agree. Colour coded Fuch would look the bks, these wheels are too big and too modern imo.

Beautiful car though - love the colour.

Looks very tidy but as mentioned before I'm not a fan of the wheels either. Perhaps they'd look better when the car is a bit lower but you can't beat Fuchs wink

Hmmm pretty sure it hasn't I've owned it over 5 years now and before that it was with a friend from Fareham way who bought it from the importer, I have been down the the tipec meets a few times nr Gatwick and get it serviced at Jota Engineering also over that way, so you may have seen it around.

I really like that not sure if its cause the tyres have a reasonably big side wall (not a ridiculously low profile) or cause that wheels are bigger but just seems to me to sit fractionally high but stunning all the same.

HI, I am a Porsche fan having just sold my 964

TBH, not that keen on the wheels. The offsets are not exactly right - you can see the rears don't quite sit right - stick out a bit too much?

Polished lip Fuchs with colourcoded insides.....Yum

Always looks better on the 3.2s in my opinion


Cheers

Horses for courses I guess as I would def have had a little less bling on your 964 and stuck with a set of black cup 1's (altough anything is better than the design 90's), I have still got the colour coded Fuchs with shiney rims so not complete sacralige they just reside in the garage for now. How are you enjoying the speed 6? I was really toying with getting one last year but got talked out of it by the local TVR garage when he told me likly hood of the bill I should expect EVERY year(especialy for the speed 6 engine yikes ) shame really as absolutly love those cars absolutly awsome, but hey maybe in the future some time?

Very nice indeed. I want one of these in the next few years.

Wheels would look better if they were silver and the car was that wee bit lower.
