Smile FS: Brand new Revolution RFX wheels 15x7

For sale: a set of Revolution RFX wheels, made in England. Porsche bolt pattern 5x130mm.

They are brand new, never been mounted on a car. One of the four wheels had a tire installed for test fitting purposes of some sort, by the original purchaser.

I bought them for my girlfriends car but plan on going a different route with some old school mesh wheels, so we never used them.

All four wheels are 15x7, and I was told by the original purchaser that the offset is ET40, so they should bolt right up to an 87+ 944 (which originally has ET52) which would make outer edge of the wheel a little closer to the fender than your factory wheels, which I like personally... Or, they will bolt up to an 86 or older 944 (originally ET23 wheels) without rubbing issues if you plan on using some really fat tires.

Looking to get $550 OBO plus shipping. Price is negotiable! My cell is 407-733-2076 if you prefer to call. Wheels are located in Athens, GA.

haha well, almost! Next week I'm actually picking up a set of 17" ATP wheels for a friend.

These Revolution wheels I purchased for my girlfriend's BMW e30, which I can make fit with some 4x100 to 5x130 adaptors.

However, she strongly prefers the old school mesh "bbs style" wheels, so we ended up finding a good deal on a set of BBS RA's locally which we will use instead.

i nearly sent you a text about them but didnt want to lead you too far astray. i think these would be killer on your car but would likely need a little bit of a spacer.

Sorry guys, unfortunately I don't have any pictures of these on a 944. I literally spent about an hour or more terrorizing the internet for anyone else with a picture of these wheels on a 944, but had zero luck.

What I can do, however, is bolt a front and rear onto my car, and take some pictures. But, since they have no tires, I can't set the car down onto the ground to really grasp the right look. So, with no tires on them, and the car being jacked up, it might look a little strange (fair warning!).

In the mean time, here are some examples on other types of cars...

(they definitely seem to be popular among small, european cars)

Will 15's fit on a 951?? I thought you had to be 16" minimum for brakes.

Certain 15" wheels will clear 951 brakes. I do know that 15" phone dials will clear the brakes on an 86 951. According to my experience, Fuchs will not. And I'm not sure about the late offset stuff.

Either way, I could test fit the RFX's over 86 951 brakes to know for sure.
