And how much do those bad boys cost? $4k? I assume since I’m asking, then it means I can’t afford them.

[QUOTE=Petza914;18758366]I had those RH wheels on my 84 Euro S when I bought it but the offsets were all wrong and the front ride height had to be set way too high to prevent rubbing and the rears rubbed on bumps anyway. Looked like a 928 rally car on them. Had they been the proper offsets, I'd have kept them.

/QUOTE]
A shame they didn't fit, extremely nice wheels Petza. I really think the cup model looks way better in the split-version...

I'm with you on that. I have the others but don't want to change what Mr. Ott built in any substantial way...

Have to be. They look huge with very skinny sidewalls.

Bob,
The Club Sport wheels do look good on red cars...
Only limitation is the lack of available selection of desirable tires, there are suitable tires for performance drives.

Just bought a lok Km '91 S4. Flying out to pick it up in a few weeks. The car has these 19" wheels with brand new Yoko ADV boots on.
I can't imagine keeping these but the rubber is too new so maybe in 2024? I'll try to get back to 17" Cup's like I had on my 968.
I think they are classic and understated.

Great looking car!

Put them up for sale and someone will buy them for their 996 or 997. 19s don't belong on a 928. 17s are probably the ideal size and 18s are as big as look good.

Default 19" Rub

Update form a post last year... they are 19" and the fronts do rub. So, I'm in the market for some 17 or 18's.
