Wheel dilemna

Wheel dilemna
The Question: Does anyone have preferrably four or just two 15X7 Cookie Cutters for an early 944? How about a set of dirty Fuchs? The wheels must be straight, no cracks; cosmetics are not that important.
The Story: My car came with Fuch replicas - 15X8.5 rears and 15X7 fronts. The MPSC tires I purchased, 225-50/15, only fit 6 - 8" rims. So I went on a quest to find wheels in July. Failing that I ended up using my front Fuch Reps and a borrowed set of, what I thought, were 1986 offset Phone Dials. It turned out those wheels were the wrong offset for the rear.
I then found a nice set of Cookie Cutters. These wheels had 911 numbers stamped into them. I thought all Cookie Cutters were the same. Wrong! These wheels don't fit the rear either. They sit inwards about an inch too far.
I've now completed 2 DE events with the wrong offset wheels. I'd like to complete the 3rd DE (Limerock, Sept 11) with the correct wheels.
If anyone can help please let me know!
Much thanks,

i have a set of cookie cutters (4) in great shape (straight wise, cosmetically need some help) i can sell you. i'm asking 200 and shipping for the set. let me know so i can get the tires dismounted and i'll put on my new fuchs set.
email me at ERAU944@hotmail.com
if you're missing the rear spacers i can get those for you too. they are 21mm. your lug nuts shouldnt go over them and tighten on the wheel if your spacers are missing though. 911's came with cookie cutters in different widths, and the fronts were 6".
also, if you have a set of late offset phone dials, i know who wants a set and is willing to pay 200 for a straight set. if you want to work out a trade, let me know!
thanks,
Michael

I've got a straight set in Boston as well. I have a refinished set I've been waiting to put on my car when the tires went, but, now the car's for sale and it might make some sense to swap the wheels and sell the others. Lemme know what you're up to.

What? Nobody has any patience anymore? :-) Actually, I was away from the computer for a few days, so I apologize for the non-replies.
I have to check if the rear spacers somehow fused themselves to my street wheels. If they did I wonder why I never noticed! I will check them this week and get back to everyone. Wheels available in Boston would be a very good thing if I do need them.
Stay tuned.....
