It's a good thing the wheels are an easy fix

Because everything else about this car is perfection. Except that front plate, that’s gotta go.

Those wheels are terrible.

I do like a good Z8 though!

That rear end is amazing.

Z8's are just the tits. Wheels and front plate are god awful

OK, I’ll be that guy.

I don’t hate it by any means, but I’m not feelin’ it either.

So that’s where inspiration for the 991's rear came from.

I’ve been looking through wheel options on these since you posted, and I’m not seeing many that I like. I’m not over the moon for even the stock Alpina wheels.

... looks up Z8 prices... is sad to see they are not depreciating.

“Skyrocketing” is the term I would use.

The stock Alpina wheels are much nicer than those, although if you could find a set that’s used on recent Alpina cars it would be a great improvement.

Those aren’t the stockies for the alpina Z8 but they might look better!

I mean, I guess they could be a lot worse.

It doesn’t look that great with the top up, but it looks fantastic with the top down or the optional hard top.

Convertibles always do. I just don’t really dig the Z8.

I used to hate the Z8 too. Then one day it snapped and I thought it was gorgeous.

Replace those monstrosities with the stock Z8 wheels and then let’s talk.
