Depends what size they are. Going over 17" will destroy the handling. 16"s are supposed to be the best on track. But I ve got 17's on mine. You'le need 4 wheel alignment & 968 castor blocks. Only you can choose what you like best!:D

It certainly looks nice. I think its the same one that was for sale when I was looking about 2 years ago - similar price. I can't recall if it was the same vendor.
Only issue is that its a Cat D - makes no difference to the car if whatever was done was done properly. It doesn't take very much to write these cars off now.
Resale issues maybe?
I can't decide if it would make any difference to me - vendor is being very open about it.

Both nice ... second one very 90's. Tough call. I think I am swaying to second one now :-)

BBS all the way. Split rims are very 80's and not so hot these days.

944bloke u are very right. Bbs style ones are nice wheels but seen 2 much on golfs and later younger cars. I'm looking 2 freshen the old girl up not send her out looking like a tart. I did see these bbs wheels on a 944 and I must adim, very complmentry 4 dark grey or blue coulor body. Some of them boxster wheels are quite hiddeouse,

you can pick up some "cookie cutters" like mine quite cheaply.I paid £200 to have them refurbished.My car is in the "post your pride and joy" thread in 924 944 968 section in I think page 4. A274 TCR! :)

Option 2 Cup style for me, similar to mine and they fill the arches nicely. Don't worry about 18" size, what I have on mine and they're fine 265/35/18 at rear 225/40/18 at front. Do get the 968 castor mounts and 4 wheel alignment done though.

Personally I would go for a nice refurbished set of D90s, Teledials or cookie cutters. If you really wanted to splash the cash then perhaps a set of Fuchs would look good. The Fuchs would have a good resale value later if you ever sold the car.
