Just saying hello...

Bought my first 911 last year and while not as old as many of the beauties on here, I like to think of it as a bit of a classic.

Really enjoying the ownership experience so far, even if it has been to the garage already for a bit of work. Plan is for it to be a long term hold...

It's actually on sport classic wheels now which I much prefer. Must get around to taking a decent picture.

Welcome to DDK. :)
Your car looks great. I seem to be alone in loving those 17" Cup 2's.
I'm intrigued now, what do 'Sport Classic' wheels look like?

Thanks. The Cup 2's needed a refurb anyway so I took the opportunity to swap them out for some like this:

Thanks.

That's not my car by the way, just an example of the sport classics....

Afraid not. My wife, however, is hugely experienced in giving a running commentary from the passenger seat...

I reckon pescot is alone in not liking them. They are the only wheel for a 993.

Put them back on and make it handle properly again pescot.

Oh, and, welcome to deedeekay.

From what I've heard/read, most people seem to like the turbo twist wheels best.

They're 17", exactly the same as the cups and were an original option so handling is fine.

Good good. They look eighteeny in the pic.
