Jason_86_951

OK, it looks like I found a 86' 951 for sale in my range, I will be getting a PPI to check it out properly. If all goes well, I will be a new 951 owner (woohoo).

My question is what is out there in wheel options for the unique offset that the 86's are blessed with.
What are some of the options and price ranges for such a beast.

In a ideal world someone out there would have some used Fikse FM10 for sale at a reasonable price, but I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks all!! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

The first wheels I bought for my '86 951 were aftermarket 17" turbo-twist "technology" (8's and 9's) from Wheel Enhancement ( <a href="http://www.wheelenhancement.com" target="_blank">www.wheelenhancement.com</a> ). They had them in stock and got them for a great price with NO SPACERS NEEDED. If you have coil-overs you can usually run 9's and 10's if you roll the fender lip. I think I spent about $2,400 for four turbo-twists, four Michelin Pilot's, four hub covers with hand-painted crests, and 20 alloy lug nuts. That was a few years ago though. The wheels looked awesome on this car.

Lots of stock 17" wheels on the market from late 90's 993's that have upgraded. Got to use spacers though.
