New Veloces

Because I needed new wheels ASAP to go over my new Turbo brakes/ get the car out of the shop, I just ordered a set a Veloce last night, so I will have a direct comparison between both sets to report on. My thinking was to sell the Veloce when the RH's come in, but I want to see how they look first. The one think I would note is the rears on the Veloce are 9.5s vs. 10s with the RHs.

Well, still waiting for the RH's from Germany, but I did pick up the car with the Veloce's. I think they look VERY nice. The fasteners are countersunk into the rim, so they look very "real" My only minor complaint is the center caps aren't as tight as I would like, but suppose I could glue them somehow. I will do more pics when the others arrive, but here's one in the meantime

Thanks for the update and photo! Let us know when the RH's come in for comparison.

I'm heading over to Sacramento this coming weekend for the Concours on Sunday in the hope of seeing in person Speedlines, RH's, and Veloces. I'll take some snaps should I find any there and post!

Here is the RH 3.6 on my old SC turbo.
The RH wheels are the best option vs. the real deal.

Gorgeous car...you must miss her.

I love the chrome headlight rings and have been thinking about chroming the ones on my 964.

Yes, I was a fool to sell it.
It had a turbo motor in it & full track suspension etc.

The silver paint and the RHs on the SC Turbo really give it a modern-retro look.

Me likey!

Yup it worked.

It was the complete 964 deck lid with motorized spoiler etc.

Fitted right on the 78 body.

Just had it mounted an wired to a switch on my dash.

My shop did it.

Brilliant...this should almost be one of the top mods for the old school whale-tail crew...don't be hating me, but I've always thought the whale tails were an afterthought to fix aerodynamic problems with the 911 body shape...
