Thanks, those are the original 18" sport classic II wheels. in pretty decent shape (few scratches).
I'm considering getting them powder coated gloss black.

Congrats and enjoy the car... amazing how many people go from bikes to sports cars - must be a sign of getting older and wiser A roof when it rains, AC when its too hot and a heat when its cold, what a concept hahaha

Great looking wheels and like BruceH I love the wheels; Those two piece classics have class

yeah I think getting older had a little to do with it. I was a member of a motorcycle club, a lot of the riders (younger ones) were always making comments when it was cold or rainy, "where all the real riders at?", or calling people "fair weather riders".
My response was that I ride because I enjoy it, not to impress anyone. if I am not enjoying it, i.e. rain, cold etc.. I won't ride. the weather here in TN is so bi-polar, you can't count on many warm, rain free days. at least with the car I can just pull over and put the top up. plus it doesn't take me 30 minutes to put on gear.

Just my opinion, but I think Sport Classic II's look outstanding in the OEM silver. Of course I am biased

haHA I win, my wife is nicer than yours

Always had motorcycles, still use my two HRC fireblades monthly. Had bikes way before getting my driver's license anyway. I don't recall riding any of them on public streets anywhere tho.... scares the hell out of me just to think about all the 'fixed' objects (trees, poles, sidewalks, other cars etc...).

I'm with your wife on that one mate.... besides.... you got to have titanium balls to ride a bike on public streets. Respect brother



actually I lied, I think I once when out of the pit to refill at the gas station outside the circuit. But that's just because we ran out of gas inside

Congrats on your Porsche! Nice color

If I had as much sense as you do she may not have been so worried
been riding on the street since I was 18 and there is really no logical reason that I am still alive. Getting a lot worse now with all the idiots texting more and they weren't very good drivers to begin with. riding on 2 in this area is a lot like playing the old frogger video game.
