Hey guys,

Finally got my 88 turbo, totally in love with the car. The one thing that I do need to replace though is the wheels. Where to you guys go find aftermarket wheels/rims? The spacing on the 930 is 5x130 right? but what offset do I need? not many places seem to have any idea about my car whatsoever, kind of disheartening.

You ought to check out the 17" Fuchs from Lindsey racing.

I have no affiliation with them but their wheels are impressive.

Thanks for the link, I like the fuchs look wheel but want to go with something different. My dads 1980 sc has the fuchs and they look great. I'd like to run something in 17-18 thats a little more modern. What do I need to look for for front and rear offset. I was going to go with an 8 inch wide front wheel and 10 inch back. Could i run a 9 inch wide up front or?

Thanks,
Mike

With the right offset, you could run a 9'' wheel up front. A three piece wheel will make it easier to do.

I have 3 sets of 3 piece wheels currently apart. They are 18" and can make 8, 8.5, 9" fronts and 10, 11, 11.5 rears. I just sent you a PM. Jim

Let the wheel photo posting begin!

Take a look at what Wheel Enhancement has to offer. They're a shop in Los Angeles that specializes in wheels just for Porsches, and sell a wide variety: Fikse, HRE, Work, etc. On their website there are pictures of customer cars with wheels, too. CCW is a company that makes and sells custom-sized wheels, directly. Other decent custom wheel manufacturers are Kodiak, Forgeline, Ruf. Call the manufacturers/distributors , directly. A bunch of guys like RH Wheels, as they make a beautiful replica of the Turbo 3.6 wheel from 1994 in proper offsets. Lindsey and Zuffenhaus sell Fuchs replicas. I know I'm missing a couple manufacturers off the top of my head. Be prepared to spend about $2500-4000 for a set of 4 wheels (sans tires). Off the top of my head, stock offsets are something like 18/24. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, it's only by a couple mm. Like A930Rocket said, you can run 9/11 with the proper offsets.

Yeah I was looking at some hre wheels, they are gorgeous but run 1500 a wheel. I dont mind spending 2-3k but 6 grand for rims just boggles my mind. I like the deep dish style, but have not found many alternatives to the hre's.

Go with the Zuffenhaus 17" fuchs, they're super light and very, very cool.

Try BBS as well.

For deep dish, I really like the 3.6 Turbo wheels. Possibly the best-looking wheel out there, including the Fuchs. RH Wheels makes a replica. Maybe not OEM authentic (which were made by Speedline), but original Speedlines will run about $4500-6000 when you can find them. RH replicas are somewhere in the $3500-4000 range, and are made with proper offsets (so no huge spacers required) and with a deeper dish than the OEM wheels. GMP Performance had a couple sets of reconditioned RH replicas for sale for less than $2500 awhile back, IIRC.

BBS wheels in my mind are the best. I think the LM wheels are the setup for your car....strong light and perfect fitment. If not I would get orginal Fuch wheels...they look period correct and are strong and light...aslo if you dont do a BBS wheel it looks like your trying to hard on an older car to make it more modern..if that makes sense

+1 Lindsey Wheels; IMO The wheels that look best on a 930 are those that are period correct (in appearance) Fuchs, RUF, BBS. The 3.6 Turbo wheels and God forgive 'em the Turbo Twists just look SO WRONG on a 930. Unless you are building a track monster with obligatory suspension & brake mods... 9" wheels are too much wheel and tire package for the front of a 930. The same 'look' (i.e. stuffed fender) can be acheived with proper offset 8's and perhaps some spacers. Quicker and lighter steering with 8's create a more nimble feel to the car, especially at 'in city' traffic speeds. Remember no power steering on a 930...

Welcome - we demand to see pics!!! If you like the fikse style wheel I have a set of 17x10 fm 10's for sale. I have switched to 11 inch wheels to the rear on my car . They have yokohama avs sport tires size 275-40-17 on them now with around 8000 mls. The passenger side wheel has a small scratch on the lip and a small gouge in the sidewall see pics. Otherwise the wheels and tires are in perfect condition 1 1/2 years old. I will include the front tires also size 235-45-17 with the same miles in good condition. I still need my front wheels though. I would like to see $1600.00 for all. PM me if you would like or anyone else who would like them!!!
