My 2.4 NA gets 28mpg and would do 0-60 in the time it takes to read this entire thread with those wheels.

They pay $.65 per pound of aluminum and figure in about $15 each wheel for shipping so I think its pretty much a no brainer even if you just need rollers for the paint booth.

Anybody asked them if they'll ever get some more 8" ones? Or am I stuck with 2 of the 10" sitting around until I buy some used 'expensive' real ones?

The site still says they have 18x10 for me...

I went ahead and ordered 4 of them, maybe I can sell a couple to get matching fronts.

Damn I shouldn't have worried about the weight when this thread started. So who ever got the last of the 8"s, I'm jealous!

What would I need to make the 10s fit the rear on my 86 951???

I got the last one so I will have to find another one. Got 4 18x10s just in case I can fit it for the front of the car with coilovers.

hey - a little OT, but what would i need for these to work in my 924S

Solid Factory Turbo Twist / Turbo Look wheels - center caps included.

2 - 7.5" X 18" ET 50.0 - p/n 993 362 134 06
2 - 10" X 18" ET 65.0 - p/n 993 362 140 04

guy wants 750. comes with tires in good condish

end result would look very much like these -

is there any danger of rub with wheels this big (18") on the little 924 body?

10" X 18" ET 65.0 p/n 993 362 140 04
