Great wheel! What are the widths and offsets?

Where can I find some 19" RUF Wheels for 993 Wide Body? I've looked everywhere...Rotaform used to carry knock offs but think they are out of business.

The original 19'' cast RUF wheel for 993 fitments were discontinued & sold out from RUF. it was replaced by the newer forged 19'' 5-spoke with slight difference in overall design. you can still find the original used set on Ebay etc but they're not so easy to find anymore. hope this info helps.

Thanks! So that confirms what I have been hearing also.

Your money, your car, your decision; that being said every thread or review I've read strongly dissuades owners of 993's to use 19" wheels. Factors include poor ride quality, heavier weight, less choices of tires, suspension set up, blingy look, and higher incidence of rim damage. Also more noticeable on AWD versions such as C4/C4S/TT.

I had the 18" on my NB 993 and loved the look, but hated the ride.

I love the look of the OEM Turbo Wheels that are currently on the car and will most likely stay with those.

Default Enkei RC5

After many years of searching I finally came across my Unicorn set of rims.
Enkei RC5. Hollow cast so relatively lightweight for 18x8.5 and 18x10. I think the 5 spoke, sunken center design look is very contemporary to the 993 era.
Lighting isn't the best and the cellphone pic is not the greatest. Need to get some more angles with a proper camera this weekend.

Rudy, Where's your "rebuild" post for that dark Blue 993 you just bought? Can't wait to see you tear into it. That TT above makes me drool.....

Really...you could put those Teddy bear wheels on a RB TT and it would still look sweet.

...please excuse my laziness for not including an image of aforementioned teddy bear wheels. One of you other crafty little $hits will take care of that.
