Default 18" 3-piece forged Phonedials to be produced

Found this thread over in the 928 area and thought it would be worth sharing here. I'm sure there are quite a few guys who would be interested...
I think to start he's planning to do two widths, one offset for each - but depending on who he ends up manufacturing them through - it could be easy enough to get different rim halves for them to bolt right up to the 944/968's...anyway take a look.

That looks to be pretty interesting....I always liked phone dials but mine didn't have them on it, it was already 17" aftermarket when I bought it. Those should look pretty awesome...

I must be in the minority, as I cannot, in good conscience, put anything larger than a 16 on my 944...

I would love to see a low offset 16 or 17" with staggered lips in the front and rear. Practically the only thing missing on the hips of a 944/951/968 is a set of wheels with a hug lip in the rear.

17 still works fine from all points of view, 18 is tricky

I'm partial to my 16's... those do look nice though... if you have to ask how much, you're already out.

I'd love to see what they look like on a 944 in that size.

LOVE the 18s on my 951, would love them even more as a Teledial!

Edit:

18s on the 951
19s on the 928S4
22s on the Cayenne Turbo
