Good afternoon Gents,
I was hoping for some input on 18 inch wheels on my car. It currently has OEM hollow turbo twists but am considering going to a different Rim like the APEX EC-7RS as an option. The car currently has 911 brakes front and rear, however, I will be putting on refurbished red Boxster brakes all around. Although I understand beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I was hoping to hear what you think might look better, especially with the red Boxster brakes installed. Also, any other 18 inch wheel recommendations would be appreciated as well. ![]() ![]() 313] Attached image(s)

Not sure what size they are, but I love the wheels on @tygaboy LS outlaw car. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...900&st=4400 Mine are Ronal R9 wheels. 16X8 with 225/50 on the front, 16x9 245/45 rears. Note the fronts have an off set of 11, where the Fuchs 8s are 10.6. Rears are 13 offset vs the Fuchs 9 of 15. I'm with Steve that 17" is the biggest that look good on a 914. One thing that makes a difference is if you keep the edge of the rim black (or at least dark), that masks the larger, lower profile tire a bit and keeps the visual proporitions in better scale, at least IMO. But as has been said: It's your car, do what makes you happy. Particularly when it's easily swapped items like wheels. Attached image(s)
