Check out my new wheels for my '69 Turbo Type-4 912 Project. I will be running a set of Falken 205/40/16's on these bad boys.

those wheels look like 22's next to your little man. Congrats on the new wheels (and your future pit crew too)

That's exactly the finish I told Al to put on my 16's yesterday.

Sans kid...

They look great.

Thats one Damm good looking spare

If those wheels are 16's then that makes the little guy about a 22.

Good photo!

Did you get the wheels refinished like that or did you buy them that way? I have 4 16x7 that I want to get done that way, I called wheel enhancement and they want $185 a wheel.

Those are sweet!

Damn I wish I had five-lugs on my 914.

Call Al, his prices are much better!
I got mine the same finish, but I added the hand painted centers

FYI, the term 'Dub' refers to wheels 20" or larger

Great looking wheels, I am always debating on doing the polished/painted look on mine.

Cool thanks! I knew wheel enhancement is pretty expensive.

I wish people would quit using the word "dub" to mean wheels I thought I was going to be looking at Vee-DUBS (Volkswagens)

Posted by: porsche913b_sp Aug 9 2005, 11:56 AM

What is the up keep needed to maintain that polish. I was thinking about having it clear coated by Al, but I have heard the shine is not the same. I dont want to constantly polish them to maintain that shine.
