I have fitted the wheels with additional 9mm spacers all round which weigh 400 grams each, negating some of the savings.

With the spacers, the wheels fill the arches nicely and the car sits just right.

While not approaching that level of tactility and hyper responsiveness, the C2 changes direction with a new alertness it didn't have before
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi,
Thought I'd post a few pics of my C2 with some newly fitted Otto Fuchs in 18" a'la RPM Technik CSR's.
Pictures available on a google search aren't that great so hope these contribute to anyone thinking of the same mod.
These weren't new, but a secondhand set that appeared on an online auction site..... briefly!
They come in at about 8.2 Kgs front and 8.8 Kgs Rear. Which is a fair saving over the original rims which were circa 12 kgs and 13.6 kgs (As quoted in
http://www.944racing.de/wheelweights.php
)
While the overall percentage weight reduction of the wheel/tyre combo isn't massive because the tyres still weigh the same and have the biggest effect on the moment of inertia, its still around 15% front and 20% rear less un-sprung weight.
I have fitted the wheels with additional 9mm spacers all round which weigh 400 grams each, negating some of the savings.
So the big question, other than the aesthetic...... Which is personal taste and if I'm honest Im slightly mourning the loss of the GT3.2 alloys! (They went to a good home though)
Do they make a positive difference you can feel? Short answer - Yes.
Is it massive? No.
Back to back comparison from taking the car into the tyre fitters and back out again 1 1/2 hours later, the low speed ride is better over a pot holed and bumpy surfaced 30 mph urban A road. Could I detect that the second time I drove it? No, not really.
However over a fast A, B and C roads, it is possible to detect that the cars handling is improved in a host of ways. It turns with less inertia, responds more crisply feels lighter and more delicate. All these are a tangible difference, but not a massive transformation if that makes sense?
The feeling is reminiscent of the series 1 Lotus Elise that I had for a while. While not approaching that level of tactility and hyper responsiveness, the C2 changes direction with a new alertness it didn't have before
To be clear though, this isn't lifting a blanket off the car, more a net curtain... The fundamental car is still very much the same, just with a little bit more clarity and delicacy.
Anyway, thoughts welcome. Clearly I'm not a motoring journalist or car tester, just an ordinary bloke with an opinion, but hopefully will give others a better perspective on whether to go for it or not.
Cheers
Very nice! 8)
Silver is a classic colour on a 911 too so it helps the whole look.
I must admit mind, I love Mk2 rims and they're mega rare, so it's a close run thing as to which I prefer. Both look good though. :thumb:
They look very good! You must be well pleased to have picked those up second hand!
What suspension are you on? With the spacers, the wheels fill the arches nicely and the car sits just right.
They look brilliant thanks for posting. Something that's on my list to add (hopefully) this year to mine. Like you I've also been struggling to find good pics other than on the RPM site.
:thumb:
I do like these and did like my car on the similar wheels.
I'm not 100% sold on then on aerokit cars though.
Agree about lighter wheels but I find it's all these incremental things that add up to make the car nicer to drive.
Many thanks all.
Dammit - Yes, 8x18 ET52 and 10x18 ET65
Coulstar - Yeah, toying with going for a ducktail, but would have to sell the Aero spoiler to finance. That may hurt more than selling the GT3.2 alloys.
Sackerly - Pleasure.
Griffter - Yep, like spotting a unicorn in the woods! It's Bilstein B8 dampers with H&R springs. No problems with Geo. Runs new Meyle coffin arms and polybushed rear toe arms.
Baldguy, BHZ661, Kas750, - Thanks chaps.
May turn to the interior next. I have thoughts of Outlaws, Subtle stickers and bucket seats.......
Looking good!
Some great images with the Fuchs fitted, does suit the car.
Hopefully you won't miss the GT3.2 rims too much 😉
It will be interesting to do the test going the other way from the Fuchs to your old GT3.2 rims. I spoilt for choice now on wheels! With 3 sets for the gen2 and the originals aero GT3.1 wheels on the gen1
My wife is gonna kill me if she finds out :cop: :floor:
Mums the word!!!!
They look great James - As said above, I think they work really well with a silver car. Possibly as the car is principally Silver and black, the wheels echo this.....
