Default These wheels are intense.

If these fit on a 944, somebody should buy them because they're epic.

"I used 6 times the reccomended glow in the dark additive so they'll really glow. "

Seen these before - have been checking the VW boards for BBS basket mesh 5x130 wheels. They really like them, running using spacers.

The glow and the dark thing? I think it might get a bit annoying being pulled over and arguing the toss about lighting from an incadescent source vs phosphorescence with the local cops for the fourth time.

While I am on a hunt for BBS or epsilons, the price he's asking is crazy.

Keep an eye out for Porsce OE "Sport Classic" or "Sport Classic 2" wheels, difference being dimmensions and structure..

Classics are 17inch 1 piece wheels
Classic 2s are 18inch 2 piece wheels..

Both are made by BBS, and are reminicient of the classic BBS spoke patern.. just a bit more modern..

Sport Classic


Sport Classic 2


My Sport Classic wheels are currently being refinished!

I don't think the centers in blue glow in the dark would look that bad. Not at all. If you had the centers painted lime green with lime green glow in the dark on a black 951 with a matching front splitter, it would look pretty cool. Maybe not 6 times the reccomended amount but carring the paint scheme into the night is a cool idea.

Glow in the dark paint is a cool novelty but I don't think I'd put it on such expensive wheels. Maybe a cheap extra set of phonies or something.

What kind of moron would try to sell wheels that are different bolt patterns? What an idiot.

For those with early cars- I will sell mine.

$1600

Yes this is a thread jack.

bad monkey-

I have some epsilons that I would sell for the correct price. Two sets, both 16x7 16x8, one set with 15" centers, one set with 16" centers. Currently I'm using 16x8 all around so that leaves four available 16x7, but the centers are 15 and 16.
