That's a very nice-looking setup. The lower rear stud/nut attachment is interesting. I assume those are 928 GTS rotors? If you need brake pads for DE I have a new set of Pagid Orange.

Agreed -- looks great and interesting rear mounting hardware. Seems to extend it out a bit? I love my KW's but they supply a pretty cheap looking bolt for the bottom of the rear shocks -- so much so that I (and others) tend to replace them with 12.9 bolts from Bell Metric.... Can I ask what these cost? My only other 'con' about the KW's was the cost....

Yes 928 GTS rotors. I am down under Tom, so shipping is brutal but thanks for the offer

I ticked all the option box's so it ended up about 4990 euro(trying to forget ) but could be a lot cheaper without black titan finish and no ARC. I then had to pay import duty on top, so was an expensive exercise for me

Here's a quick pic of the 18x8, ET52 and 18x10, ET65 Fuchs forged wheels with Michelin PIlot Sport 4S tires, 225/40 and 265/35. Not sure what center caps I'll be using. I have a set of really nice silver painted metal Porsche caps with large colored Porsche crest, but the color may not look right since it's darker than the anodized finish. For now I may get the black set sold by Fuchs as shown below.

Didn't I buy those from you?


edit: wheels look awesome by the way!

Yes Tom, they are the same as the set you purchased. I bought these for my son when he owned the 951. They were on some 17" 996 twist wheels that I'm selling to my local shop.

I think the Fuchs caps would look OK. They retail for $175/set (amazing how expensive plastic can be!) but I found some online for $89 if I go that route.
