Changing mags?
 
Before I bought tha car, I always planned on changing the wheels and upgrading to 17" mags. After a month of ownership the std wheels are growing on me. My personal choice would be the R8 design wheel. Anyone out there do a mag upgrade yet?

I had the same intentions, but when coming to selecting rims, there was just not that much I liked over the OEM mags both 16" and 17".
Have you requested a quote for new rims, this is what made me,reconsider.

Agreed.... I like the 16s more and more, if only they came in 18".
I got a quote for the volk racing G25..... Almost passed out .......
Rota and oz seem best for the buck at the moment.

Yes I went 18"...not much from the likes of Autostyle etc which is your cheaper option...we share the same PCD as some of the vw range.
You do get the good looking mags for the 86 but they become pricey.

@Kev01 - my boss (who has a 911 Carrera S) took a look round my car - also a standard and concluded that the wheels make it...

Anyone know how much one OEM 17" wheel is for the 86?
