Default 928 Classics, Project Phone Dial - Reviving a Classic, now on KICKSTARTER

928 Classics is pleased and excited to launch on Kickstarter, Project Dial - Reviving a Classic!

Due to the excellent response and support from our Porsche community, as seen on Phone Dial Design Project - Modern 18" 3-piece forged:
the Project Phone Dial team is ready to move forward into wheel testing and pilot-production.

This is where you and Kickstarter come together with us to help launch into this next stage of the Project!
We ask that you review the project and the rewards... see what interests you.
  • Wheelsets are available for those who've been waiting to purchase, limited edition one-of-ten
  • Cool Phone Dial T-Shirts, Posters and Models are available to help support the project, as well.
Our funding goal is $28,928 and we have 30 days to get there!

I'm pleased to answer any questions you may have, either on RL or Kickstarter.
Also, feel free to email me at jim@928classics.com

Lets make these modern Phone Dials a reality! Thanks for your support!

Default Fitment Drawing

I haven't yet created a fitment guide for the 911, but I can tell you these wheels are very similar to the Carrera III's... 8", 10", 11"

Ask and you shall receive. Not my greatest work, but you can get an idea.

There is a local 928 that needs restoring if I can get my hands on it. These are perfect for that project.

Default Project Update: new rewards, request for feedback

Thanks to all who've backed this project so far... we're off to a great start!

I've added new rewards for FANS of the Phone Dial wheel. Take a look to see if the new gear interests you.

Also, I've commented on the project here, asking for feedback from those considering purchasing a wheelset.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...assic/comments

And for those interested in general discussion on the project, the wheels, or any questions/feedback you may have...

Lets start talking about it!

Thanks!

Off to a fantastic start!

But we still need your help (sounding like NPR pledge driver here).

Hoping to find more interested in a 18" modular Phone Dial wheelset!

Hoping to find more wanting some cool 928 and Phone Dial schwag!

I believe this is a great opportunity to get in on something really unique and special. Make it count!

How about it guys.... anyone interested in getting a wheelset for your 996?

2 weeks left... even if you aren't interested in a wheelset, please contribute and receive a nice reward!
