That's cool Compomotive is still in business. I thought I read an article a couple years ago that said they went under.
They could have been bought out by someone. Maybe Speedline?

Usually wheel fans require wheels specifically designed for them. Many times they are for centerlocks and designed to allow access to the wheel nut.

That's a good point on the fans. I guess there isn't really a one size fits all way to do it and would require that you drill and tap your wheels to fit them. Here's a pic of some non-centerlock BBS wheels that are tapped for fans:
On an crazy awesome DIY note, this guy made his own fans for his Audi replica race car. The whole build is pretty incredible.
Sorry to thread jack lol. I'm one of the weird ones that loves turbofan and aero wheels.
Back on topic though, are there other Porsche models from the same year range (pre-85.5) that used the early offset?
It would probably be most affordable to buy an aftermarket set used, it just may take some searching and time before a set you like pops up for sale but save you $$ over a custom set.
this is the wheel I have on my early NA, 7"s in the front and 8"s in the back, 15" diameter.
mine have gold centers though and they are bitchin.
I had mine reconditioned about 9 years ago and they are still in good shape but could be cleaned up...I also have 2 spare 8" wheels of the same type...if anyone's interested.
