sell your turbo twists and get some of these or the replicas. Paint the calipers red while your at it.



if you want something racier looking that is actually a strong wheel consider these forged wheels which are bullet proof on ****************ty roads and weigh 20 pounds. Forged wheels usually sell for a grand a piece, these are about half that and won't dent like my factory Carreras. I'm considering these below for my summer tires and running the Carreras as my winter wheels.

All that bling doesn't belong on a Porsche. Besides that, everyone knows that chrome wheels weigh allot more. So why would you want to slow your car down by adding all that weight to the flywheel?
