Could not find 'just ' a wheels pics and specs thread. Thought I would start a new thread just about wheel pics and specs so that others looking to change wheels might find some useful info.





These are 18x 8.5 and 18x 10 inch rims put on by PO. I don't have the offset but these look like ebay type.

Tires: Yokohama Parada rear 275/35 front 225/40

i'm going to be doing something similar, in a chart form, including weights and offsets - this will help me though for sure - filling in the blanks would help too

That would be great...maybe with "find" by size or by 'style" or 'click on' little pics....



Is it easier for you if we submit to a thread like this and then transcribe data to the chart?

I just picked up a set Kinesis K58's

18x8 and 18x9.5

They should be here this weekend. I was going to spring for some brand new CCW's, but the K58 has always been on my short list.



Here are some pics of the different wheels I have or have had. Also a pic of the new wheels I just picked up.

In the pic with the 911 behind you.... If they made/make a wheel like the Turbo Twists, but skinnier, like the rims on the 911 behind you..... THAT's what I'd want.

OEM 997 Carrera III



F: 8x18 offset 57 / 22 lbs. 13 oz. Tires are 235/40/18

R: 10x18 offset 58 / 22 lbs. 15 oz.. Tires are 265/40/18



(Note: Tires came mounted when I bought the wheels - I would have preferred, and I think the "better" fit, would have been 265/35/18 on the rear.)

Correct, they were K27's.

I sold them last winter.



I am excited about the K58's I just got.

I will eventually have the centers reanodized gun metal grey.

Blue, there are some companies doing black chrome which looks really elegant, assuming you have any existing wheels to chrome.

Yeah Smokiemon! That's what I'm talkin about!! Anything with five spokes and wide rim is just bad ass looking! Gives our cars a tougher stance!
