Default Anyone have D-90s for sale?

I have a set on my '89 and like them a lot. NOT chrome.
So long as they are straight, I can get them refinished.
I figured I'd look here among friends first.

You have good taste my friend.

Anyone know if they can be duplicated in 17"? A group buy might make it affordable.

Slight hijack... how rare/expensive are CS wheels? I like the look of them more than the D90s.

Rixter's set is from a 944...
I thought about CS wheels, but they take a 17mm spacer in the rear and the fenders are rolled front and rear. I'd rather not roll the fender lips, and skip the spacer too. The CS wheels are THE rare/collectable 928 wheel, but D90s are cool too.
There are wheel guys out there who can find anything (CS) but they get pretty top $ for whatever they have.

I guess I'll be sticking with slotted wheels for a while.

The 'true' 928 CS wheels are 8" & 9"x16, and do not require any fender rolling. If one wishes to fill the rear wheel wells with a 245/45 tire fitted, a spacer is needed. I have 28mm bolt-on TUV approved rear spacers. The better chance to find CS wheels today are those from the 944 turbo S: The rears are identical, and the fronts are 7x16 with 5mm more -ve offset - ebay sales can be in the $700-800 range (a couple of 'new' sets, likely with 7" fronts, have been pushed for ~$2200!).
The cast D-90 come in several sizes: best are the GT units at 7.5" & 9": Be careful of some of the 944 and IIRC, 911 flavours - their fronts are only 6" wide, not my preference for a 928.

Now, if someone wanted to fit skinney snow tires - 6" is perfect ....

Just a FYI.
D90 for some 964 C2 are indeed 6" front, but D90 for late 944 are not thinner than 7" front.
D90 on 944 S2 : 7" front / 8" rear
D90 on MY90&91 944 turbo : 7.5" front / 9" rear

I have a set that I might consider selling. I believe they are originals from my GT. They came as extra's with the car. Let me know if you're interested.

I am interested in the '89 wheels but not at the crazy prices some have been asking For that matter D90 will do just fine.

I have a set of Design 90's that originally came from a 1990 928 GT. The fronts are 7"x16" with 65mm offset, and the rears are 9"x16 " with 52mm offset. They have all the RDK pressure sensors (two per wheel) still in place if you need those, but if not, they don't effect anything. They currently have a nearly new set of Kumho Ecsta Supra tires on them, 225/50ZR16 fronts, and 245/45ZR16 rears. I inherited them on one of my cars, and the PO must have liked parking really tight to the curbs because some of the outer rims are scraped up a bit. Otherwise, they are in excellent condition. I'd be willing to part with the set for a fair price primarily because at the moment they are neatly stacked in the corner of my garage, and not currently being used on any of my cars. Let me know if you're interested.

Regards, Mark
