Default Killer deal Turbo 3.6 Wheels

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=468663

I must not buy, I must not buy....... Seriously though, if I could spare the cash they would be mine. I haven't seen them this cheap for a long time, even though they are RH wheels not Speedline for Porsche. I don't know the seller, or the wheels personally etc etc.

They're sold. Nice wheels, but wrong bolt pattern for Porsche.

Really? He sent me pictures of them mounted on a Porsche of some kind (or at least a car with Porsche calipers). Whoever used them first couldn't park very well -- they had some meaty curb rash scars. ( My sour grapes since he already sold them. )

They are 5x130 - he had a full Porsche brake/spindle conversion done on his Audi S4.

Anyone have a couple of RH outer lips they want to sell...?

RH Alurad wheels, I think GMP sells them. If they are older, you can't buy new halves because they changed the number of bolts for the center from 38 to 40 if I remember correctly. I bought an older set thinking I could just replace the halves...NOT!!!! I ended up sending them to Wheel Collision Services in Bath PA to be straightened. Al Reed of Tustin in SoCal polished and reassembled. Then I moved to Nashville and one wouldn't seal, so I sent it back to distributor for a reseal and bolt replacement. They hold air and look nice. So I have older, polished, straightened wheels for about 2/3 the cost of new.

Michelle,
I got these from Matt Sheppard a long time ago and finally got them rehabbed on. I'm running 295/30 on the back and 225/40 on the front. I still need to roll the right rear lip as it does touch.
