Default Forged dish rims question

(crossing over from the 964 side)...

I am looking for a set of Flat dish rims, and cant seem to locate any 7" with offset in the 50's (52 or 55?). Only the 928 type with 65 mm.

Anyone have any of these?

That was the option wheel for the 944T so you don’t see them much.
Check this thread, WTB - A Cheap Pair of 16X7 et52 Flat Dish Wheels .

You are looking for club sports. Not too hard to find, check here, pelican, and cragslist.

Club sports would be the D90 style, not the sewer lids like this guy is looking for.

Marc, very true. If the Clubsports existed in 52mm offset for the 7" wide, I'd be looking for those...

But he is looking for forged wheels.

Front clubsports are 16x7et65. A 13mm spacer would put them right where you want.

Alex, thanks. I saw the link and contacted him.
The manhole covers are forged as well. In fact some have "made" themselves Clubsport in 8" with manhole covers by enlarging the openings.

Cool, I didn't realize the manhole covers were forged too.
