I have the same wheels on my 87 (10's in back). I sprayed them "hotrod black" from DuPont. Supposed to be satin but turned out pretty shiny. Most people seem to like them, judging from the people that cruise through my parking lot when its outside.

Sure, pm me your email address and I'll send them to you. I can't get them to upload, plus its not quite done and still needs a few things before I was going to post pics.

They look great and I wouldn't change the colour but I thought you were trying to fit them to your 951 or is that the car that they're coming off?

Those Fiskes are probably the classic wheel for our cars. Did you get them custom made for your car? What size and brand tyres do you have on them?

Did someone custom fabricate 931 vents on you 951 header panel or is that an actual 931 panel? I bought a perfect 931 panel but later found that it won't fit properly. There would be a gap between the front leading edge and the bumper cover. Your's looks like a very nice fit. I still have the 931 panel and want to do the conversion to my 951 but don't know where to take it to get fabbed up? Any suggestions?

ok- the 911 pic is just what my wheels would look like body color-for my car- im trying to picture it though...

- i bought a messed up 931 nose and cut the vents out, welded them into my car and resprayed it. Turned out pretty good but it wasnt alot of fun. I have a thread about it on the 924/944/968 boards.

-those fiskes are the ones i always look at when i picture the wheel i would want. They look very good on our cars..

heres what i have tonite- wheels wont be here till thursday but i got my cup2's today so i bolted the spacers 25mm front and 30mm rear on and set the wheels on for test. Now keep in mind once the car sits down the front will go towards the fender alittle more and the rear as well.... hopefully i can used these w/ the 18's as well and i'll be very happy!

45mm offset with 30mm spacers. the wheels came off my 993. They rub a little on the outside. Based on my measurements the fenders need to be rolled as well as some more camber and it will fit just fine. The tires are Bridgestobne SO2's with 285/30/18 tires. The rubber barely extends beyond the rim lip. They look good but if you live in a place where the roads are as bad as in Long Island 17 inch wheels are the way to go in my oppinion. I even changed my 993 to 17 inch whhels

Does anyone have a picture of the rear of a 951 with 285-295s on it? I would like to see how they look with that wide a tire set up on it.
