Default Can identify the wheels on this car ?

Can anyone tell me what the wheels on this car are. 17 or 18 and what style are they ? Also, can anyone tell me where I can get the chin spoiler and side view mirrors this car has. I think those may be 968 mirrors, but am not sure. Can anyone direct me as to where I can get these parts.

Regards
Cliff

Those wheels are Kahn's - no longer available in the US. (You can buy them from overseas)

Mirrors and door handles are 968. - Sunset Imports

Chin spoiler is AIR. www.americaninternationalracing.com

That's my old car, but Pete added all the fancy stuff. He got the wheels 'cause they looked a lot like Ruf wheels. He found the wheels hard to live with (harsh ride) and too expensive for everyday use.
You might look for some Ruf wheels if you like that style.

Oh and Pete's Kahn wheels were 18":

I do not recall if he sold them with the car or before.

The funny thing is, that black car is the car that the Kahn RSR's came off of. He sold them to Pete. So it is the same wheels, physically, in both pics.
