    such a nice rsr tirbute..but the wheels!

    re

    wheel choice


    the proportions are just wrong......spokes look to thin/long......its a shame.

    Many people go this route due to tire availability.
    Just not much available for wide 15" rims (9" and 11").
    Really only Michelin TB 5/15 or Pirelli P7 Corsa Classic.
    Neither are easy to get in the US and are very expensive (~$500+ per tire).

    Better availability in 17 or 18" rim size.
    Ce la vie....

    https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/ is my source for tires in 15 inch sizes, easy quick shipping ( they fly them) to your door or shop.

    Unless you're going to use Braid Fuchs style wheels, the real McCoy's are dang expensive and nearly impossible to find.
    Haven't seen a lot of Porsche factory 15x9 and 15x11 Fuchs wheels for sale lately....
    If you do, they'll be North of $12k I'll bet.

    @doug the Maxilite wheels aren't too bad. They have those sizes.
