Been looking thru the Porsche Design 90 posts (Very tempting I must say) and you mentioned a 40 series wheel.

Is this the teledial design, or something a bit older ?

Would appreciate any pics you might have.

Also any pics of the new mats ?

Cheers

the '40' refers to the aspect ratio of the tyre, ie you need a 195/40 on a 16" wheel to retain the correct overall diameter.
Design 90's only come in 16" and widths from 6"-9".
Tele's can be had in 15" and 16", not sure on the widths though.

Yep, it's the tyres I was on about.

The mats aren't in yet- apparently on back order. I'll get back to you as soon as they're in.

and jazzypolo those 40 profile tyres are expensive kerching....

Much as I like the Porsche wheels, I think I'm probably gonna go with a BBS X Spoke lookalike.

For about £500 I can get something like the Rondell Design 58's in 15" including cheapo tyres.

Where as the Porsche Design 90's are likely to be over a grand once you've; bought the rims, had them polished, bought the adapters, then fitted tyres.

Still worth dreaming about though.

I kinda had the same train of thought, I love the Porsche wheels, but with the ultra low profile tyres, the adapter, the polishing... It adds up.

Quite happy with how things turned out though.

let me tell you how much it cost are you ready, £350 for the alloys, £35 fuel to drive to london to pick them up, £73 per tyre, £132 to take the polish off and respray back in oe silver £15 to put tyres on, £50 for four caps as two that i had were not as good as the other 2, £150 for the h&r adapters (i got a discount as i know the guy in the str normally you would pay £230 for these). total me BROKE!!!....

It will all be worth it though harry !!.

thats what i keep telling myself i have seen the silver and black one and they do look crisp pick them up tomorrow will have to arrange a time to see jbs to fit them on probably get then on before the feeler meeting as i want to get the car on the rollers..
