Just bought a nice set of Mahle rims on Ebay.
Got the lugs from a member of this forum and also got two nice foglights from a member. This just put a smile on my face. Not bad looking for a big bumper ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

Very nice Johannes. I can only hope my '76 Sunflower looks as good some day.

Very nice! I have the same bodystyle (big bumpers) and the same wheels(less shiny). Good to see what properly prepped mahles look like.
Are mahle's magnesium or aluminum? |

The rare 5 lugs were magnesium. FYI, I found out the aluminium Mahle weight about 2 pounds less than the steel rims. |

I'm sure it doesn't hurt that you take some great pictures. As for the bumpers, I am partial to them myself but the extra weight does load down the car (take them off for a day and drive around, I was amazed myself) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-643-1209342416.jpg) |

Beautiful car! Nice landscape too. I love Mahles, and although I don't mind the look of the BBBs, I plan on taking them off at some point too to save some weight.

Very clean car. Great pictures. Bob |

Great looking car. I like the looks of the Porsche crest on the yellow hood. I'm going to add one to my car just to piss off T H O M A S (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I'm not normally a fan of big bumpers or yellow cars but damn...that car looks nice, I do like the wheels, the only style I like better is the old school minilights. Beautiful setting for the pictures, I have to get back to France, and soon. Jim
