 |
|
I think I saw a set of the aluminum replica wheel on a SC in a parking lot. They looked damn cool in person. They came out years ago but I dont think I have seen any on the road. Couldnt phtograph them too good with my cellphone.
Does anyone run these wheels?
They come in 15 and 16 inch sizes fromAlloy Replica. Are there other brands?

I believe those on the SC are space saver spare wheels that have been polished.
There are also alloy/mag 356 style wheels.

Thats exactly what they are. They still look good when polished. I never paid attention to them until I saw these.

Carreras had them for a wider stance.
