ledyard:

Look in the ads of an Excellence magazine. I would stay clear because Ruf wheels are extremely heavy.
You will notice a performance change (loss). Good looking wheels though!

cheers

I know Dan's (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=2274) got a set of these that he refinished. Maybe ask him what he thinks of them? The looks are outstanding.

To buy new, one US distributor is <a href="http://www.stefaniacorp.com/" target="_blank">http://www.stefaniacorp.com/</a> . You can also purchase directly from RUF (www.ruf-automobiles.de) in Germany, but on wheels the freight may be prohibitive. I want to say that Exclusive Motorcars in NJ is also a RUF dealer. You might send an email to them at info@ruf-automobile.de and ask who their US distributors are.

They are heavy, but I have to admit, they look better than any other aftermarket wheel on a 78-89 911. After all, they weren't designed for anything else other than a 911. They are made by speedline for ruf. The best prices I have found for them is from a guy in Pompano who specializes in ruf stuff. His name is Chris Fox and you can reach him at 954-491-2777

Yes they are heavy, yes I do notice a performance loss... but they sure look good.

I kept my Fuchs for the track!
