Default RUF Speedline Rims

Looking for some information on them.
Cost, dimensions, fit on 44s w/o modification?
Pictures of them on a 944 would be great if theyre out there.
Thanks!

sorry, I've never heard of these Rims before, and I'm just learning about them, I guess they're called "Ruf Carrera" Rims, not Speedline, since Speedline is a company.

You were right, they are made by Speedline. I have the 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear and they fit perfect. Tough to find but it's possible. Let me know if you need any pics.

Since they don't make them anymore, keep an eye on the Rennlist, Pelican, and most of the other classifieds. They 18inch retailed between $600- $800 a piece. I'm not sure what the 17's were. Good luck!

DVC, always loved the look of your car. Just curious, how much do those wheels weigh in at?

there was a set for sale on pelican about ten months ago from a 911. they were late offset. i was very interested in them but backed out because i realized if i killed one rim i had three new paperwieghts.

i got 968 rims instead. i think the speedline rims are the nicest rim for a 944 period!

ExMainer- Just scan the classifieds every other day and they will come along when you least expect it. Good luck!

TD- Thank you! I just moved and am looking for the weights I had written down. These replaced some 16" forged club sports and so I weighed them both. If I can find them I'll post them.

Tom- That is a sweet Z28!

I know! I've been searching for them for so long. Keeping my eye out, If I come across a set, and for some odd reason I can't think of right now, I dont buy them, I'll let you guys know.
