Took them off, they are indeed RH AG Cup's, 18x8.5 F +45 and 18x10 R +54. Cleaned them up, although the clear coat is flaking off pretty bad, need to get them powdercoated. I like the idea of polished though like on some of the 968's I've seen (bitch to keep clean though).

1. Well you cannot buy them any more which sucks because i'd love a pair. (just send me over a set.. you've got plenty )
2. I only ever see them on properly worked VLs these days
3. They look so good!

They were/are quite popular with the Datsun 1600/ Mazda RX3 crew. They are still available. the company "simmons" stopped producing the wheels a few years ago. Tempe Tyres in sydney then bought the tooling and are now making them. There is an upside and a downside though. The upside is that the centres are now billet which is nice. but the rim halves are cast instead of spun. So they may not be as strong as the older sets like we have. Simmons were the best custom wheel produced in australia. A lot of Aus Porsche guys still use them.

Hi Justin,

Here are some (few) in good condition, but there is no" the level" in the EEUU.
You're lucky to live there, there are many professionals on this model in your country.
thank you very much!
