Those are NICE, Lawrence! I had a set of N.O.S. ones from the Porsche dealer where I worked. I put 'em on my '66 after I sold the EMPI five spokes. They look SO good in the original silver color, like that. Nice score!

NOS, sweet!! I bet those are unheard of today. Thanks for the compliment. The pictures are a bit deceiving as the wheels are actually a charcol gray color. I think they will look great with some porsche nipple caps.

It doesn't matter what color your wheels are... as long as they're not chrome. They look really nice. It's refreshing to see a set of painted ones for a change. Please post a pic when they're on your car.
