Yep, I know all about the staggered curse on the AWD cars. Thanks for the reminder though.

Yes I did talk with him, cool guy. I currently have all the bolt ons as I told him but am looking for the right tubo kit. My car turned 100k not that long ago and I want to do a full engine refresh at the same time as the turbo replacement. I guess I seeing cars like his might help me make up my mind.

 

S wheels can be used on many applications....

Nice photos by the way.

 

I have never seen them on an EVO before, that was interesting.
Thanks

 

i had a wheel done in ye ole shop in MD a while back. they are supposedly the best in the area, just don't expect any good customer service. lol. my Mazdaspeed 6 took a nice one as well this winter on 495. I noticed a week ago that it is so big that my tire is deformed at the impact spot.

 

Thanks for the info. This sucks because these wheels are just a year old.

 

My friend just got his done recently by Wheel Doctor in Gaithersburg, MD and said turnaround was only a few days and they look great. He said it cost $200/wheel. I am probably going to get them to refinish my kinesis wheels

 

Thanks blackbenzz, I will look into them too.

 

Yeah, I had to do a double take the first time I saw that....

 

@TMAC I saw your rims at the meet. is that matte black? I am still undecided if I want polished black or matte. every rim I see that is matte looks worn down and just dirty, but yours looked very good.

 

Here's a photo of a Carrera S wheel or "Lobster Claw" in Flat and a Turbo Twist in Matte Finish and a Carrera Light Weight Wheel in Gloss Black.

 

The damage was on my Audi S4 not my Porsche thank goodness.
I am not happy about the damage period but I would rather it be on that car.

I just keep my wheels clean. It took me a while to decide on the flat black finish but I do really like them.

 

I have a set of the Lobster Claws in gloss black that I use to run on my Carrera. They are 19s so the rears were just a little too wide.

I really like them in the flat black finish you posted. I need to find two more front wheels so I can use them on my S4. I think they look great on the white RS4 Avant I posted on the 1st page of this thread.

 

i am very undecided but I think the gloss will be easier to upkeep and since I have a bright yellow car might work out better as well.

 

Thread revival - anyone with more good/bad experiences? A friend my mine wrecked a wheel a couple days back.
