Those are 17-inch wheels, made with Fuchs centers welded into 9.5- and 11-inch barrels. Lindsey Racing in Oklahoma makes them.

The amazing thing is how normal they look on the later chassis. After 1989, the hubs got moved farther out, so the 911's wheels never had the 'deep dish' look after that. But with a widebody car, you can make Fuchs that preserve the look and also keep the advantages of the newer suspension.

Thumbs up

Thanks Guys,
It's been a really fun project.
There is some things that has to be done before it can get the done stamp.
It looks like it's mirrors are gona get changed to the later style aero ones.
Most of you guys didn't like them so they will get changed.
Any of you guys have a set of aero that they want to part with?
There is a tread on the project. Check it out!

Cowhorn:
Jack is right. They were made by Mike at Lindsey Racing.
He dose a great job with them.
He has made me several sets for me and there always top notch!
I with Jack on that it's good to see that we can get the right look on the 964 cars.
It opens up a whole new place to play.

Hey Jack ya want to do a BBIII? The everyday driver.

Fantastic. I'm not sure how difficult it is on a C4 - but maybe lower the front end by an 1" -1 1/2"
