Thanks for the reply Perfectlap.

Do you have pics of your car with the 18" replicas?

19" rubber is not that much more . i recently purchase new 18" and 19" rubber (Hankook) it was not that much difference in cost. my 19" wheels look so much better and the handling is better too.

Nice Jacabean! Thanks for posting the pics. Where did you find the techart replicas? What are your wheel widths, offsets and tire sizes? Thanks!

the wheels came from design911 UK . i could not find them in the U.S. fronts are 8.5" forget the offset and the rears are 10" 60 offset . i needed a 15mm spacer for the rears. i would like to pick up a pair of 22mm spacers in the future for more of a flush look in the rear.

works perfectly with the mods, but the replicas are too heavy and require $200 spacers.



but I like these the most. A BMW M3 shadow finish would be nice. I'm having my factory carreras redone in that color.
