Nope, sold them a while ago. The 8's were the rears from a 944 turbo, the 9's just the standard 911 turbo wheels. If I remember, these were the wheels that I almost didn't get married over. Tell you the story sometime.

So, 10 years ago, my wife sez, let's get married. Fine sez I, but I can't afford the wedding. No worries, sez she, she'll pay. Cool, I think, and order up some 8's and 9's from Robert Wood, to celebrate my impending nuptuals. $2200 worth, if I remember right.

Wheels arrive, and she wonders where the money came from. Had to chip in for 1/2 the wedding.
