Default selecting wheels

I have been looking around online and it seems kind of had to locate wheels that fit on a 928, any suggestions. I have an idea in my head what I want the wheel to look like just a matter of finding some that will fit on my car and match bolt patterns.

Look through this until you find the wheels you like:

It's the fronts that are hard to fit. Those require large offset, 55,mm to 65mm or more. That depends on the width you want. Most Porsche wheels won't work, or won't work well.

Check out 928Specialists, I think they even had a little program to give you an idea of what the wheels will look like on your car. I think their web site is www.928gt.com

Default wheels

I just put some 8x18 and 10x18 reproduction wheels on my 1980 euro 928. The offsets were 57 mm on the back andf 58 mm on the front. They look awsome and fit purfectly. I had to remove the spaceres I had purchased for the 8 inch phone dials I had on the car. These wheels fit with no spacers.

I bought them at wheelsrims.net. They had the painted 5 spoke wheels from a mid 2000 911. They had a set when I ordered them. When they came in one of the rims had a ding in it. I sent it back and when they recieved it they found they were out of stock. They had to referb the wheel and send it back to me. It was a pain but the wheel came in and they look great. The wheels were only $114 each!

I am not saying it went flawlessly but $114 each!
