Porsche Targa wheels

The other day.Porsche Targa Heritage Design Edition Announcedbut when I looked at the images, it was really cool. When I first saw the design of the 992 model before, I thought, "This rear doesn't feel quite right...I honestly thought, "I'm not sure how I feel about this," but I gradually got used to seeing it, and as for Targa, it is a very sophisticated and wonderful fusion of "Targa-ness" and "newness".

To make the wheels this light was a difficult task for conventional cast aluminum wheel manufacturers, but the wheels developed by Fuchs were the only ones that could solve this problem.Fuchs wheels were the only wheels available at the time that were lightweight and could meet all of Porsche's requirementsHe said it was.

The distinctive clover-shaped design was also introduced in 1965 by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche in the "A more harmonious appearance is a priority.As a result, the wheel design submitted by Fuchs was modified and completed.

The record at the time reads.Porsche Jr. changed the shape of the five webs connecting the hubs and rims for stylistic and visual reasons.He said it says, "I'm sorry.

911 Turbo Design I chose the wheels because it said they were 'forged wheels', so I thought 21" would be fine.
