And lets be honest, a good 17"or18"wheel package together with the large red (or yellow) Brembo's bolted onto cross drilled rotors stand out like dogs gonads & are eye candy to all....just not when they look like add on Lego blocks bolted to 20" chariot wheels.

Somebody (Fuchs Maybe?) has recently come out with 17" and 18" wheels that look pretty much like the original Fuchs in 15" and 16" did way back when on 70's and 80's era 911's. A few of the 993 guys have been buying them, the 17" seem to be the size of choice. Here is a pic of them (not my car), I gotta admit I think they look great:

Now that combination is real class - see how the wheel slips into the well and just gives you a seductive peep at the red calipers and beyond. Doesn't distract from the overall car outline - just enhances it and ivites you want to go for a closer look.
