Thanks, I really like this wheels. Would you be so kind to give me please all the exact measures that fits the 993T?

I'll tried to see if here in Europe there is a dealer, but it looks like not. Therefore I'm thinking to order them from the US, but I want to make sure I order to good ones
Thanks again

These are the best looking cars. Hopefully one day soon I will be able to buy one of these to sit next to my 996. There are some great pictures in these pages guys.

Welcome to the club, Bama1972. The 993TT is an intoxicating car and, after 4 years of ownership, I CONTINUE to get a rush whenever I let the twin turbos spool up. The power hits like a sledgehammer. And the styling is equally glorious.

If you don't have it already, suggest you purchase "Porsche 993 Essential Companion." It's an invaluable resource on these cars whether you do your own wrenching or not. RennList is also a great ongoing resource and the 993TTT crew there are very knowledgeable on more technical issues.

The cars in my opinion are truly gorgeous.

And Intoxicating is a very telling word. Can I ask have you driven a newer turbo (996 or 997)?
If so, in your opinion is the 993 as well a performer in the straight line compared to a newer turbo? (Handling I would assume a newer turbo is better)
I've read that the 993 is a different feel. Is the feel significantly different (someone I read equated it to as close to an exotic as you are going to get)
In your opinion Would it be overkill or redundant to own both 996 and 993 considering I am not a collector and that the car(s) would be driven?

I am toying with adding a 993 or changing around my 996 to another one or going to a 997. I would appreciate any opinion.
Thanks,
Al

I purchased privately and sent to RPM to add some Porsche OEM parts that I wanted on as well as switching out the radio with another Becker unit before sending it to me ... I had been pursuing the previous owner for ~ 8 years, thankfully no restraining orders were issued against me... I was in the 90-120K bracket
