I tried to list the old wheels in the classifieds, but I don't know my RL #
Where do I find that?

I love those Fikses. I've wanted those or CCWs for years as track wheels.

I've just picked up some nice 8x18 (57mm) and 10x18 (43mm) Cayman wheels. Not what I exactly wanted but at $400 for OE wheels I could be persuaded.

Why not bigger fronts? Porsches tend to get big rears as that's what 911s need.

^^^^^^
Glen, not bigger fronts because these came off a friends 930... They where his track wheels! When you pay less than the cost of a single new Fikse for a set of 4 beggars can not be choosers...

I agree though, if I had bought them new for the 928 they would have been different sizes and offsets completely...

Makes perfect sense now.

Those should be 3-piece wheels and rebuildable. Maybe the right half-barrel piece will make them wider and add offset for the fronts.
