New to me 964 C4!!

After a month of searching, I stumbled upon this beauty locally. It was love at first sight. I just had to have her. It's a 1989 Carrera C4. I'm loving every moment behind the wheel of this awesome car.

Congratulations. 964 is a wonderful 911, and one of my favorites.

Many happy miles and smiles.

Looks like 17" 996 turbo twists. Not specific for only the turbo, nor 4S.
Nice touch on a 964.

i didn't think those 996 wheel style was done in a 17 unless they are knock offs. pretty sure the turbo twists style was all 18 inch

Porsche did make 17" turbo twists too. These wheels can be knock offs as the originals and knock offs visually look the same.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Those wheels are OEM 993 18" Turbo Twist. At least that's what the previous owner said they're are. I haven't confirm. But they do look nice on this car.
The car rides on H&R coil overs which I love.

Here's a quick interior shot.
It got the engine overhauled treatment at 110K miles. It now have 113K miles on it. The car pulls strong.

Thank you for the interior picture and reply, so do you see many track days ? I would also consider some H&R sway bars. For more information Click here.

They indeed look like Turbo Twist 18" wheels.

Thanks Keyon
The 964 is such a blast to drive. It has so much character and poise. I look forward driving this car everyday to work and back home
I came from a 996 C2. Eventhough the 996 has plenty of power, it was missing the feedback characteristic, to me. Anyways, you're going to love it when you own one.
