I've just had some new wheels fitted to my car at the weekend and now it looks stunning or so I've been informed and I would agree it's also got KW V3s setup to how I like it now too although it could possibly go a bit lower.

that looks mint mate !!!
but have you thought of having the wheels sprayed in anthracite to give it a darker look so that they stand out a bit more against the paintwork ??
great car mate, make sure you look after it as i know that plenty of them have been thrashed and crashed

Great cars.

The rear looks much better debadged, without the rubber bumper strip and the teardrops really suit the 944 as do the 968 handles. Ever though of a stick on numberplate for the front?, I had one on my S2 - fits between the air intakes perfectly and looks tidier imo :



Just need a bridge spoiler now and your done!

I will look after it and have been quite well so far too I've spent about 4x what the car is worth on it at the moment but for the way it drives it's been worth every penny so far.

I have a carbon fibre bridge spoiler waiting to go on when I get around to finding a new hatch that will take a bridge spoiler and getting the time to fit it. May well consider the stick on number plate too as that seems to work really well with the front end on yours

Thanks for the comments everyone I'm quite surprised by how much everyone likes them because it seems that people either hate the wheels or really like them.

I'm liking the front numberplate hehe

Is it legal to cut down numberplates, as long as they have a reflective background and correct letter spacing?

I took the liberty of doing a photoshop just to see what the wheels would look like darker.Loving the back ones, but it maybe doesn't suit the fronts as much due to the lack of deep dish.I would be happy with either though, it's such a stunning car

I think I know what I want to do with the wheels when I get them refurbed, which will be sometime next year due to lacquer peel on the lip of the rims.

Sorry FROG944 they are proper Porsche wheels, they're cup 2 split rims, I think they were used on the 968 turbo S/RS. I got them from someone I know in the Porsche club who had them on a 944 cabriolet.

Beautiful car! I can't help thinking that the 944 is aging really well. Even the interior looks contemporary - although I guess I'm judging it against a gen 1 Clio and a 993!

I always thought the 993 aged well particularly a turbo like yours which in silver looks fantastic. Really liking the Clio Williams too, not been tarted up like the 2 that are owned by a couple of people I went to school with.

I'm betting you spent more than that on KW's/wheels/paint.
