Lovely wheels.
I'd buy them myself but I am 'between' jobs at the moment.

Out of interest which particular type of Kumho are they & how do you rate them? Will need two new rears before long & there the cheapest by a long way!

Take a look at the Falken 452 as well, looks the business http://www.falkentire.com/Tires/FK-452-3 Just changed all four tyres to these from Michilin Pilot Sport Cups and they perform well and lot more comfortable on the road. About the same price as Kumho aswell

I thought that they were a bit expensive, I bought a set when I had my 944 with good tyres for £200

Dave

Were those Club Sports or Design 90's?
They are very similar.

As you can see the wheels look similar.
This site is good
http://www.wheelenhancement.com/index.php?t=Wheels

The Club Sports are more expensive as they are forged. Design 90's are cast.
I have no idea of the current price but I priced a new set of Club Sports in 1997.
The 7Js were 675 + vat each and the 9J were 875 + vat each.
Needless to say I decined.

Bert Gear had a new 9J at a Porsche autojumble which I bouught.
I bought another 9J off a Rose owner whose car had been repossesed. He had been paraniod about the car being stolen so he he took a wheel off every night. The reposessers dragged it off the drive and down the road on three wheels.
Tom Fergusion had a pair of new 8Js bought for a 928 S4 Sport. I bought these despite they had holes for pressure sensors thinking that I could buy blanking plugs. Porsche only sold the sensors at 300 a wheel. It was cheaper to buy a SH set of forged SLOTS with sensors so I did. The sensors are a bugger the take out and fit by yourself and need a special tool.

They are sitting in my garage right now, i will take as many £200 pound sets as you can supply !

The CS wheels are a totally different thing from D90's apparently the lightest wheel produced for Porsche.
