Test Pics
I just got done doing a wheel swap to see how the Boxter Wheels would look on the new fasty. I just bolted in one lug on each wheel to line it up and lower the car down. The fasty is stock height right now so it looks a little funny in the front...
let me know what you think

 Anyway, do you plan on changing the color of the fastback?

Thats looking quite smart.
Once the front is down a bit and its all sitting level it will look  Cya, Sam C

It looks quite good..
But to be honest.. I wouldn't put that rims on it.. GO pic some real racingrims.. suchs as OZ, AEZ, etc.. (and lower it ) hahaha But yeah it's only mine opinion (i don't like porsche rims.. most of them are ugly  )Wiebrand

OK. hmmmmm... I think I liked them better on your bug.
They look too thin for the car, I think that the spokes need to be thicker for the car. Maybe some cup style wheels or some phone dials. Maybe a set of turbo twists and fuchs always look good even if they are dated. P.S. hey Joe I have a good front beam preped for weld in adjusters. I have the adjusters new in the package, let me know if you want them when you lower the front. Brendan...

IMHO...They're ok, better than stock...why not put some Lamborghini wheels on it instead!
But other than that.... maybe some BBS wheels would look better?!? Don't know.... John

well guys, I think that I agree with most of you and think that they look way better on my bug. I just wasnt sure how they would look on the Fasty until I swapped them on. Then once i did it, I didnt really like it.
I think personally that a set of 16 x 7 Fuchs woulds look so much nicer. Or even as Brendan suggested a set of 16" Phone Dials. Not sure yet, have to do more research. BTW Brendan, I dont need an adjustable beam for my T3. T3 front ends are already adjustable from the factory. Thanks anyways

I think maybe the Porche C2 TURBO (I think thats what they are) style would look good. Or even a nice set of lightweight *cringe* tuner wheels. Something with a big lip, like the Lamborghini wheels!
I think after you German-Looker-ize(??) your fasty, the range of wheels that'll look great will increase.

I think the Phone Dials would work too. You could always play around with PhotoShop and see what you come up with. Toss some wieght in the front so it lowers it and take some more pix and load them up nd play.

i have to agree with everyone else. they are OK, but others would be much better.
my black Ronals are up for sale (just haven't posted them yet) if you want to consider them. they are low offset for the deep look. already have Kumho's on them. 16x7ET11 and 16x8ET23 (i may have the offsets backwards) with 195/50 and 225/50 (cause they were going on the bug, stock 951 is 205/55 in the front). i attached a not so good pic of one. tires haven't been treated yet and the rim is pretty dusty from the move, but you get the idea.

That would be cool. Kind of have a RUF look and black on white is always cool. Black wheels, window tint and smokes lenses would make a big change. Toss some 80 lb. bags of readymix in the boot and your there.

agreed. i would stick with the white paint assuming it is in good shape. some red lettering on the rim lip (ala OZ or any racing style) to pull the interior color outside and some nice red calipers.
