ok, clear this up for me - offset is measured where, like from what to what?

so i gather i'll need spacers. i dont mind having to get them, it'll just take a bit for me to get hold of some.

now before i trade my fuchs away, confirm that these wheels are forged, i know the ones on turbo s' are, are all the flat dish wheels forged?

thanks,

I don't know which wheels you're looking at but the clubsports are forged, the D-90's are cast.
Wheel Enhancement has good pics of all of them.

ERAU-944

they are 928 flat dish wheels, like 944 Turbo S and later S2's had. 7 small spokes, and the front is like one big dish... hence the name.

These?


According to Wheel Enhancement they are forged. You will need spacers.

These are the forged 951 clubsports:


These are the cast D-90's that S2's have:

like i said, flat dish, now what spacers do i need, i'm gonna have to dig deep for this, and also find some chrome center caps...

p.s. anyone got any of that stuff for sale?

pete944

If the offset is 85mm you'll need a 62mm spacer or thereabouts. Don't forget longer studs.

ERAU-944

for front and rear?, the rears come with 21mm spacers already... man this is gonna get expensive.

If it is those wheels, I think that they look weird on a 944. Why spend all of that money on spacers and get rid of your fuchs for those? Even if your fuchs are only 15", they are a better looking wheel, IMHO.

tifo: i'm keeping my 15x8" set of fuchs and trading my 16x7s for a set of those 16x7. now that i think about it i'm just gonna hold out for some 5 spoke cups or something. wanna buy my fuchs??? 700 and the tires go with em!

thanks, i called him and told him i'll stick with the fuchs. if i get spacers it'll be for some real cup type 5-spoke wheels, non chrome.

thanks guys!

I would dispute the forged part. Too intricate of a shape.

Forging requires that the part be hammered. Rods can be hammerd because of their shape. The shape of the rim part of the cast wheel means that you can not hammer the area between it's ridge and the spoke or dish part of the wheel.

Now if they said pressure cast I would agree.
