I was thinking this would be a good idea, but maybe with more details?
e.g. copy and paste:
Car: (early/late)
Wheel manufacturer & model:
Wheel dimensions & offset, front:
Wheel dimensions & offset, rear:
Tyre Specs:
Spacers front: (if applicable)
Spacers rear: (if applicable)
Suspension modifications: (if applicable)
Guard modifications: (if applicable)
Because too much information about wheels can never be a bad thing
And may I add, your car looks great!
Post update:
Car: '83 944

Post up your car showing a good shot of the whole car and the wheels so people can get ideas for new/different wheels etc.

Sorry but this is to weird. I noticed this afternoon how much differnet the offset is between my car and my parts car. Pics of the rear wheels, both are '86 NAs, both are 15" and both have 215/60R15s on them. Took a picture of each to post on the forum tonight and saw this thread.
I am breaking the rules about not having a full pict of the cars sorry 89VWdieselGolf but like I said this was so weird could not help posting it.
Did the phone dials come offered in different offsets? I will swapping the deeper offsets to my driving car tomorrow, I like them better. At that time I will be getting the manufact numbers and offsets off each style and post them.
