Hello:



As you may or may not know, I purchased Eric's MO30 968. I don't intend to mess with it, however, I am shopping for replacement Wheel Rims as I have always put the originals from all the PCars I have in storage to prevent any damage.



In any event, I am asking for some feedback on what rims to get...I kind of like the following:



1. New Boxster s Rims 2005

2. Kinesis Rims (I belive Eric had these on his 968S project car) Where do I find them.



I appreciate your input.



Regards, Jeff

I believe Eric had the speed lines. The Kinesis wheels are very nice too. Here is a link to the RH version of the factory Porsche Speedlines. I would definately go with one of these over any boxster wheels.

JRH is right I did have a rare version of the kinesis wheel. They do pop up on ebay from time to time. These wheels look amazing on the 968 IMHO. However they are a bitch to clean, the polished lip and fastners are a chore.







RH/ OEM Speedline version has rounder edges around the spokes. The speedlines also have the etching on the lip "Speedline for Porsche" which I think is pretty cool. These wheels go for $2000-2500 used and are rare but they do pop up from time to time.

are those the ones that kinesis said they were going to start making again?

I just installed the 997 18" 5 spokes on my 93. 8" 58mm in front, 10" 57mm in rear. I love them. If i could figure out how to post a pic I have lots. I'm very picky for proper fit &these are as close as any factory Porsche wheel

Nissan, what happened to the 17" Cup rims? If you no longer have a use for them.... <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Wow! Beautiful wheels on a beautiful car, they look easy to keep clean and will allow lots of "cooling air" to get to the brake rotors too. Good job, Bob Blackwell.

I appreciate your feedback and opinions....What about offset front and rear and so forth?

Huh?

You only show your rims when you sell?
