Default Off with the RUFs…

My Son helped me swap my Twists back on the 993 today…forgive the dirty tires as I didn’t have time to wash the car 😀

I love 18 inch RUFs, but on this particular car and color, I prefer the Twists.

I personally like the look of the RUF wheels more.

Either way they both look good on this gorgeous car!

Thanks! I like them both too, but the twist color matches the car better. RUFs are for sale.

Here's a filthy 993 cab in Arctic Silver with RUF 18"

They look so good with either or, though I prefer the heavy OEM Ruf.
FWIW I put 5mm and 7mm spacers on stock studs with open steel nuts and after seeing how the nut was not being fully engaged I pulled the spacers off.
GLWS, timeless wheels for the 993.

Thanks Guys. For our Canadian members, $5,000 Canadian firm and I'm happy to help with the distance by meeting you somewhere in between our locations. I'll wash them up this weekend if the weather permits and post more pics. My guess is that shipping to the US would be about $75/wheel and I am at $3,800 US firm.

Same here - the RUF's suit the 964 but they make the curvy 993 look slab sided IMHO.

I ran 18” RUFs for a few years but eventually went back to my 18” MY02s. Love the RUFs but just wanted to go back to a lighter look. Both sets and Twists look great on 993s. RC

I think if they're the hollow spokes they're lighter too Mark.
