What about these?

A Photoshop would be nice. On a Black 944

Depends on the year of the car and the tire sizing you choose. The 19s will fit but they might rub.

To give you an idea of how it may look, this 951 had RUF wheels. Saw it at the Hershey Swap Meet, i believe the owner is a Rennlist visitor aswell.



They look awsome i think.

They look good, but seem to modern for the car in my opinion. Id trade them for my PD's

I think they look great on our cars. You'll need to check the offset, critical on those wide rears to ensure you don't get any rub on the outside or inside.

I would love to run acrossed a set of ones in early offset, but they are hard to find and when they do come up I never seem to have the extra fundage.

One thing to keep in mind, is that they are very heavy (meant for high HP cars). That means that your (and my) 944 will be noticably more sluggish when accelerating from a dead stop and out of slow corners.

Personally I think 18's look goofy on 944's, and with small 944NA brakes, more so. Love those Ruf wheels though.

I agree. For what you'll spend, you can get 17" Fiske or Kinesis five spokes that look somewhat better on our cars, are much lighter, and that take MUCH less expensive tires.

The first set of 18's looks pretty nice in my opinion. But they are going to be a lot heavier on a lighter car such as a 944na or 924S...As Tifo mentioned the offset is critical on these cars, i have already had rubbing at one point on my car and thats the hard way to learn to use the proper width and offset wheel

Also- Nobody mentioned yet the porsche service bulletin released about using large (17+). I'm sure you could search that topic or someone who knows more could chime in about that.

Good Luck

I think the 10" wide rears are going to rub BIG TIME. As for the 11" rears, I doubt that they would fit at all. I have 9" rears on my 951 and there is no room left.

Unless you have steel control arms and other steel upgrades, 19 inch wheels will literally destroy your suspension with the amount of stress put on each arm. 18's would be pushing it.
