Yeah, but they don't match the flow of the car imo.

Nice car, though.

Here is a pic of my 928 and Black TA from 2 days ago.....

The rims on your Porsche, however, are a perfect choice (even the front rims, I love the stock rims on the 928's)

Yep, and they are the only Pushrods I would take over a Flat 6 (or the older V8's in the 928)

You seem to assume that all of his cars are high dollar cars. He has a CRX, Wrangler, old 914, etc. Most of his cars cost him less than $10k.

He does, however, have an unbelievable collection of audio equipment. Most of it is brand new in the box, high end equipment from the 80s/90s. Stuff that will one day be worth a lot someday (and hopefully prove a good investment).

My '02 Z28 dynoed 683rwhp, all motor, before I sold it. 5.7 LS1 backed with the factory Tremec T-56 6-speed (rebuilt, of course) & a custom 9'' Ford rear.

Frank Drendel is a true sports car enthusiast. His collection is worth about $40 million, I was being sarcastic. His house in Hickory, NC has an elevator that raises his cars in & out of storage. The man has 3 Ferraris Enzo's for God's sake.

They don't have **** on the TA snowflakes, those are some sexy wheels. Especially to come from an era of *** ugly domestics.

Some nice numbers for a n/a motor...

I do rather like those Snowflakes too...

They remind me of another great wheel design, the VW Snowflakes (go figure)

I just ordered a new set of 19" tires for the 928 so hopefully I'll have all 4 on the car sometimes next week....

Those are the 17" Yearone snowflakes...I choose black over the gold because the Yearone gold was a lighter amodized look....than the deep gold like the originals...but once all the decals are back on the car it will have plenty of gold...I think it will balence out

Yeah, the inner well on them is pretty much black, I need to clean em up.

Those rims, the TA SF's (light gold), and the Subie rims with the inner light-gold trim (late 90s outbacks and such) all look bleh when dirty but very nice when clean

Yeah, I hate about 99% of factory wheels. Well, some of the new vehicles coming out have nice options.

I'm gonna install a 2.5" lift on the Jeep this winter, just to give clearance for some 32'' tires. My Jeep's a sandstone color with tinted glass & custom smoked effect on the front amber markers/tail lights. I had planned on buying some black Cragar soft 8's, but the snowflakes have grown on me & I think I'm gonna keep them. Everybody puts Cragars or something similar in black on lifted trucks anyway.

The Z28 had brushed aluminum ZR1 wheels from a '91 Corvette ZR1, not cheap replicas. They were 17 x 9.5 front & 18 x 11 rear. Weighed about 35lb total & were worth several thousand.

that is a sharp Z/28 I know I would've hated parting with it
