Default WTB 16" phone dials

I am located in NY and have a 1986/87 951 modified. I am looking for Phone Dial rims for my new tires.

Why? There's so many other really good looking wheels out here (some with tires mounted on them). The other problem is that the proper tires for the 944 16" wheels are becoming harder to find. But as they say, "different strokes for different folks".

The car is an 87, but the whole suspension has been changes to an M030 with 86 sindles, rotors and so on. Currently, the car has turbo twists on it.

How much are you looking to spend. I have a decent set of early offset phones.

Some lack of response might be due to uncertainty about what offset you need:

M030 w/ 86 spindles? Not sure what you have there, as M030 parts are from 88TS and 89 Turbos, including spindles and hubs. What year are the control arms and trailing arms? Are the existing turbo twist wheels factory or aftermarket? Using spacers or not?

It will be helpful to specify if you are looking for early (86) or late offset (87+) wheels.

I have a set of powder coated black late off set for 325.00 shipped

One of the rears need to be striaghten. You don't feel any vibration or lose any air though!

Cheer, JJ

I have spacers for the current rims. I also have a set of stock 86 rims that bolt right up. The car is heavily modified everywhere. The M030 is a suspension I just had installed. Sway bars, shocks, bushings, ball joints.

I have a set of 4/ea 968 5-spokes...all are 8" wide....they were my track wheels but are in very nice shape. I also have a pair of 6" wide 968 5-spokes if you wanted 6's and 8's instead of the square setup.

Shoot me a PM if you are interested and I can send you pics.
