This weekend I installed my second set of wheels (purchased from forum member, achilles, who kindly included center caps) I had the Conti DWS tires mounted in the early summer, and with the weather turning cooler in New England - it was time. I do not store my car and don’t want to drive on the Conti Extreme Contact Sport summer tires when it gets chilly because that is dangerous.

I think these wheels are called Sport Classics, right? My primary wheels are the lighter weight Boxster II type. Pretty wheels these new ones, but will be a bear to clean. Fortunately, I don’t clean them as much in the winter. It is fun to change up the look of the car though!

Here are the new to me wheels:

Switched back to my factory shifter this morning. I liked the short throws but i was starting to think i was having clutch problems. Hard to get into hear, especially on down shifts when not moving. Seems like I had to keep greasing it to make it shift easy and not be so noisy. Just got back from a test drive with the factory shifter and no noise and smooth shifting. I guess that's why those cheap Ebay shifters are so cheap. Getting pretty good at it, for me, only took about an hour. ��
