Default I DON'T WANT TO BUY SPACERS!!!!!!!



Can't I just take advantage of my early offset and find a sexy wheel with one nasty-wide lip on it??

I am only running a 4mm Spacer on the Right Rear for my Summer Wheels. :P

There's always Fuch's too..

Though come on, you like doing things the difficult way! Change your entire suspension out to late style while you are doing everything else!

You know what? I'll do it! Anyone have late suspension they're willing to part with for CHEAP?

Well, technically, they look a lot better on 911's, but they still have their charm.

Why not just have sexy wheels made to fit the offset (you know HRE, etc.) .... It's the expensive route, but then you get exactly what you want.

Find some 930 Fuchs to put in the rear then put the 951 Fuchs in the front. Cheaper than late offset suspension, okay only a little cheaper. You're welcome.

Single piece forged CCW wheels, are all available in early offset. They are light and much cheaper than Fikse or HRE and you get your wide polished lip.

fuchin sweet man. It's really the only non ugly early offset wheel. Spacers are a perfectly legitimate solution though...

Don't know about that either. I just mounted some 17" 3 piece Speedlines in early offset. Look fairly decent to me. I'll post pictures sometime.

early offset, no spacers







unfortunately i have no clue what the manufacture name is of these wheels. Ive never seen another set before either. I bought them from someone on craigslist who had them on an early 911.

Look for a set of the factory BBS wheels. They fit early cars.

I really like the look of the turbo twist rims on the 944.

I have 15 inch fuchs on my car right now. they look a bit small on the car but I still like them. fuchs can look nice if polished.

I'm thinking of eventually putting black turbo twists from a boxster on my car. my car is dark charcoal grey so I think that would look nice on it.

that red car has some beefy wheels on it, or is it just the rims making it look like that? Oh, and Do Fuchs really come chromed, or are those painted?
