I have set of four 8x16's that were just recently professionally refinished if anyone wants to make me an offer for them. I also have two 7x16's that still need to be refinished if anyone's interested.

My car has 15" fuchs, but I prefer 16" phonedails. I've talked to a Porsche specialist, and I can trade the fuchs for 16" PD plus tires. In addition he will also give me a big discount on a new antenna windscreen.

Kevin, I think your car looks great with the painted PDs. I don't see enough Nautic blue 944s! Very nice.

Those look great!! Actually, they look just like mine, so they look BETTER than great!! I did mine in "Slate Grey Metallic".

Right now though I'm in the process of restoring those damn brass/tin/gold plated crests that were in my centercaps.

Does anyone know the story with these things? Were they OEM...are they still available...were they common??

I really like the color. If you had a black car, I would say that you shouldn't paint the wheels black though. You color is perfect, but about as dark as I would go.
Another great advantage: no brake dust to clean!

Very nice job K.
I love the PD's, and with a clean stock finish, they are hard to beat. The darker colors on darker cars look great, but something about white PD's and a Red 951 sure have my interest.
That's my plan for winter... I think they'll look great!

Bryan951, I am in the market for some phonedials actually, and I need the 23.3mm offset too. Email me at Chas944@yahoo.com please. To be honest I am really looking for a pair of 15x7 dials wo/ tires, but I am open to all that comes my way. Bryan does your set come with tires at all?
Anyone else wanting to sell/part with some phonedials, etc. Just as long as it has the early 23.3 I am all ears. Also the Anthricite looks really sharp, especially on that Nautica Blue Kgosselin...great job!!
Thank you
Take Care All!

Nothing wrong with Phone Dials - they're a great looking wheel. I changed mine to Cups because I wanted to go to 17" wheels, not because I didn't like Phone Dials. I saw a set of PD's the other day where the edge of the holes had been painted black - now that looked sweet!
