I bought it yesterday. My first Pcar. My thoughts exactly about wheels, I'm researching options now, so any suggestions gratefully appreciated. I'm thinking something in matt black. That's all, then drive it and enjoy. Vin Rick V, michel, micknine01 and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 10April, 2020 Report Share Posted 10April, 2020 Congratulations on your purchase. In regards to the wheels, why not just get them refinishing again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Good for you Vin. If you want a set of original silver 18 Turbo twists for your model I have a set with tyres $1500. Not sure how good the tyres are haven't looked at them for 2 years but passed a RWC back then. White_996 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 10April, 2020 Report Share Posted 10April, 2020 @rhinosm Good work mate, congrats on the purchase 👍 That's good buying I reckon ( Sorry, but I just hate twist rims 😄) Harsh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 10April, 2020 Report Share Posted 10April, 2020 But @LeeM you don't see the wheels though when fanging through the hills like Porsche intended. 😎. For a zero Fuchs given fun car, wheels on it are fine but can be switched out at a later date. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
