I'll let you form your own opinions on the car itself.... my question is about the wheels.

Are these Porsche Wheels? If so, I've never seen them before.

If not... how did he convert a 4x130 lug pattern over to a 5x???... whatever that is.

I brought that question up once before.. about buying an adapter that goes from a 4x130 to a 5x110 or 114....... no one makes them. The only adapters I know of are 4x130 to 5x130... but those don't look like wheels Porsche would make???

Did the car have a 5-lug conversion done to it........ then added adapers to fit this wacky looking wheel??

How'd he do this?

Otherwise, I really like the side mirrors (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)

Am I correct on this?

yes and no....the main reason you couldn't find the configuration you want, is that YOU are the only one that wants them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) (not saying others wouldn't buy them, but its a real small market)

Supply and demand.....

from an engineering point of view, with a little thought they can be made correctly...the biggest problem with most of the adapters is that people are cheap, so they are drawn to the cheap units sold by jc whitney
