No they're not genuine but a low cost wheel bought on ebay - see link - no affiliation - I'm pleased with them even though they're not exact replicas but they'll do nicely for racing. On £86 each!! and do come in 5.5" as well as other early 911 sizes.

That turned out well!

Like the triangulated rear warning light bracket, and of course the Dash strip design!
I too look forward to seeing it at the best circuit in Europe, SPA.

After all the hard work I managed to get one of these today - not that important if only going racing - but very useful as allows me to test the car without going to race circuits (and the associated costs) and just plain nice to have. For those NI'ers on the forum they'll know this isn't easy to get and it did take me two attempts!!!! BTW I'm framing this as I'll never be able to get another MOT cert in the future as all will be "digital" soon. Still very, very pleased.

First competitive outing at Kirkistown race circuit in NI. Managed to get a half day testing on Friday afternoon then qualifying this morning followed by two races. A few problems that need sorting the most serious being relucatace to shift in to 4th/5th plane - did some linakge adjustments that had mixed results but not happy with this so need to investigate further, also had fuelling issues - seems to pipe work and centrifugal forces working against me to starve the RH bank of carbs - think I can get it sorted. All in all a good shake down - no real dramas - but then not really up to speed either - it will take time.......
