Default Period correct, aftermarket wheels for early 928

Does anyone know what would have been the typical aftermarket wheels fitted to early 928's in period/back in the day?

Would 16" have been the norm in say 78-80?

BBS's? Gotti's?

Normally we see BBS RS rims put on early 928s. Don't know about any others.

There's a work-in-progress project going on now that's building 18" versions of the original Phone Dial wheels fitted to the early cars. Keeps the original distinctive 'look' of the phone dial wheel but updated to allow modern tire fitment. Original tire fitment was a 225 section, something a bit narower than what comes on new Honda Civics. The period BBS option wheels were no wider than the originals IIRC.

On early cars 16" Gotti was probably first common aftermarket setup. Little later BBS RS in 16". 8" ET50 front and back or 9" at back.

A Super Top Secret (For your *** only) Project I'm guessing. (-%
