tires and wheels I put Porsche wheels on my car

[Smitty]

Porsche 356 steels specifically, blown out to 15x7.5(f) and 15x8® with 5x205 adapters from Old Skool VulcanWerks.

Losing the chrome this weekend and gaining a few inches more lowness in a couple weeks.

Thoughts?

Thumbs up! I like the look and didn't know they have those hub adapters.

Rims are too wide for me but side view shot looks cool IMO. I like both with/without the hubcaps.

Nice work.

Really cool looking! I agree though, that the tires don't look right with that narrower than wheel ricer look, but the wheels are freakin sweet! How much does it run to get those wheels and adapters?

Wow, that looks great! Interesting idea. I'm not sure I would go much lower, but your taste is... your taste!

What's the model number for that Panasonic radio? That looks fantastic. Won't fit in my radio cutout space, but I love it anyway. Worth keeping in mind for the future.

The wheels look great with the hubcap! Any side shots like the one w/o them?

After all these comments, I need to say I disagree. You're going wrong way. Your car looks so nice...if you just put front bumper on...and some real BMW wheels it'd be perfect.

Everybody's free to do want they want with their car though.

Very cool to know they have adapters like that. I had several VW's and remembered the later one had 4x100 but never thought it would be useful for the 2002. Looks great but I'd love to see with the hubcaps. Also a great idea to go with thinner white steelies with caps for the rat look. Again, very cool!

What is the offset f/r? What is your suspension set up? Do you rub up front when turning?

+1 for more info on the radio setup and the clock. Looks really cool.

Awesome setup!

We think it's cool.

The Porch guys will probably take offense.

I always liked the membership application for the Porschuh club : something like "your VIN must be verified by an officer of the club before you can join."

Whereas the BMW club application was : "you like BMW's? Send us your money and you are in."

Those look REALLY good. I might now have an alternative to my E30 steelies.

Dam, I've got a set of those sitting out in my vineyard. I was using them as weights to hold down the tarp that I throw over my tractor. Maybe I should bring them in and use a few rocks instead.
