That's a really nice price, isn't it?
Those would be over $4000 new with those tyres in Norway.
Which offset are they?

I believe its a good deal considering the tires mounted and the condition they are in.

They are 55 offset, bolt up to 87+ 944's, 86s will require a spacer.

I would love them. But...no funds right now. Waaaa. Twists do rule though...do you notice a harder ride from 16" to 17"?

I thought the car rode much better when I switched from 16's to 17's. It easily could have been the sucky old tires vs. the much better ones that I mounted though...

very tempting, i'm about an hour north of indy. no chance you would consider taking some 968 wheels plus $$ would you?

I think 968 rims are a VERY close second to Twists. They just look like they belong on our cars!

I do like them, but I would rather have the cash so I can refinish and re-tire the new wheels I just bought. My buddy in Evansville is also letting me borrow his phonedials while I work on the new ones and I have a feeling I will end up buying those down the road to paint white...

Someone buy 'em! I hate selling on ebay...

I paid $1000 with no tires for mine a couple years ago...good price. Same S-03s and sizes I have to...FYI new those tires cost around $800...those tires are awesome too, I use them on the track as well as the street.

968 rims are nice but they're only 16"...17" is the size I think fits the best on 944s/968s.
