This might be a little OT, but I've seen larger diameter 3 piece phonedials on some other makes outside of the US and have wanted a set ever since.









I don't think they were ever made in our bolt pattern though. It's probably for the best since I have too many sets of wheels as it is for a car I don't drive.

Very nice. I would prefer them in 17", but understand sizes may be limited and would be interested to know more.

Weight, price, etc.

8.5 X 17 55ET and 9.5 x 18 55ET please...

i'd like some 7.5J x 17" ET20 and 8.5J x 17" ET 25

I'd be keen on 17" staggered 8" & 10" or close too

19"s...

I like all sizes and for different reasons. Historically the Cup phonies look great with a higher profile tyre but on the opposite side of the spectrum as a design proportion I think the larger wheel fits the overall symmetry more effectively.

I want those rims you have.... they are awsome

Thanks for all your interest!

It's a very exciting project, and I plan for it to be my first product release for my business, 928 Classics.

Options are wide open. May supply in standard silver and unfinished (to allow for you to custom paint).

Biggest concern w/ 17s in a 3-piece BIG brake clearance. I may approach a 17" design eventually, it's just not the priority release.

I have a nice local RL'r who will be helping me with 944 fitup. Will take pics.

I've been very conscious about controlling weight throughout the process.

Current weights are a touch under 26.5# front, and 28# rear.
I'm pleased with this considering it's a "closed spoke" full wheel design, as opposed to an "open spoke" (ie. traditional 5-spoke).

Comparable wheels of similar size:
18" 993 Turbo Hollow-spoke - 22# front, 23# rear
18" 996 Turbo Replica - 28# front, 29# rear

For relative comparison, if I were to just "scale up" the original design 16"phone dial to 18", it would weight over 30# !

So, I'm in the ballpark but not breaking any records.


Thanks man!

Price will be very similar to a market comparable set of 3-piece forged 18's, ala Fikse, Kinesis, etc.

Because it's a 3 piece design, will we be able to get custom widths/offsets? Will we also be able to get it in other bolt patterns?

Jadz928

Thanks for asking.

First release will be 3 different widths, 9", 10", & 11". Offsets will be tuned to work with both the 928 and 944/51/68 but may require spacers to fit all applications.

These are being made in China, correct?

Jadz928

Don't know. Still considering manufacturers. The prototype was made in China.

hacker-pschorr

I hope not. Keep it Porsche only.

TheBlau

Sounds like these are becoming close to reality over on the other 928 forum thread...

This is great news. Early offset 16s look nice, these should be great.

(I can't stand my late offset 15s)
