Where to get high offset wheels in the UK?
Where can you get et65 wheels that fit a 928 in the UK that aren't ridiculously expensive?!
They only come on eBay like once every 6 months and they're really expensive ! (£400 for a pair of fronts only)

Spacers won't work as they reduce the offset, not increase it. Spacers will only be useful if can find a pair of ET70 front rims.
Rawky, your best and only bet is simply to keep looking, and when you see the original Porsche items, BUY THEM. They are incredibly rare.
I got a full set of mint ones off eBay for £250 a couple of years ago, still easily the best steal ever off eBay. I later sold them for £750 with lightly used Contis. They do occasioanlly come up, but not often.

These are pretty good http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod66...4-alloy-wheels
You will notice the difference when you brake hard on a poor surface in an emergency & spin off the road.

I said prettygood, as in close, but not perfect. Your right, I don't know if ET 57 is dangerous or not. Everybody should make his own decision. If you want to stay factory, Porsche specs are ET 65. I don't care for your tone though. I'm done here.

Hi Rawky 
Try "Sport Design" wheels from a 993 or 996...similar to these >>> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-C...spagenameZWD2V
Ignoring the fact these are American and chromed..you can get the same on Uk Ebay usually fairly cheaply...
These are mine.... [IMG]
[/IMG]
They are 10x18 rear with a 65 offset and 7.5x18 with a 52 offset front with a 3 mm spacer on the fronts which SHOULD make the offset worse but in real life improved the handling drastically lol...
All the best Brett
