I am working hard to get my new 951 ready for the road - if it ever stops snowing. While the factory phone dials are in great shape with great tires, I would really like to put a set of 17" C2 Turbo wheels (or failing that 993 Cup IIs) on the car.

The car is a 1986 951.

Ideally, these wheels have the following characteristics:

1. they are early offsets (therefore replica wheels), but I am also open to OEM and will get spacers.
2. are black or in need of refinishing. While I prefer black, do not discount me if you have silver (or other color) wheels.
3. come with centre caps

Please PM me if you are interested in selling - and yes I am willing to trade my 7x16 and 8x16 early offset phone dials with Bridgestone RE730 with 90%+ tread left.

Many thanks

I'm looking for a set of Speedlines for the front of my car (I already have the rears). If I find them, I have a set of replicas that have curb rash on the edges of two wheels. There are brand new (less than 600 miles) Fuzions on them.

It is the correct wheel type, but are unfortunately the wrong offset. They will work with the spacers, but I am really hoping that someone out there has the early offsets painted black. I would hate to media blast recently refinished wheels if I do not have to - it seems like such a waste. We shall what comes.

You have 2 choices: factory or aftermarket.

Factory are a several pounds lighter, but a lot more expensive. If you want the best wheel for the price, I would recommend factory Cup IIs. If you want factory Cup 1s, ask around if someone is selling, or check with www.wheelenhancement.com.

Aftermarket Cup 1 wheels are too heavy to be worthwhile. Like I say, pay for the factory version or go for Cup IIs.

I just bought some new wheels and I've been considering selling the set in my sig, so maybe it's time... They are early offset C2 Turbo replicas and were painted a charcoal metallic color by a previous owner. There are a few small chips in the paint which could be touched up, but overall still look very good. They have Michelin Pilot Sport tires with good tread (I'm not sure exactly, but would guess at least 50%). I am flexible on the tires, as I could swap them to my new wheels, or get new tires. I'd take $600 without tires or $800 with, plus shipping. PM me if you're interested. I also might be interested in your 16x8 phone dials.

Dont get rid of your wheels. The early offset 951 phone dials are not easy to come by.

I call them deep dish PD's and they seem to be holding their value.

They look great on my '83.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. I have a pending deal for exactly what I want.

Luis thanks for the advice on the relative benefits - I should have said to all that the car is only for street use and the weight issue is not a big deal

Not mine.

Arash, Thats a great deal. Has the sought after 7 1/2 ' fronts.

Luis de Prat

Sought after if they're factory 7.5" fronts. Mille Miglia Cup 1 replica 7.5" fronts are quite common, actually.

PorscheDude1

I guess a simple phone call would find out the part numbers on the wheels.

Luis de Prat

For reference purposes, the part number embossed inside the factory 7.5" Cup 1 wheels is 965.362.124.05. IIRC, the factory version also have "SL" numbers which stand for Speed Line.

Both the Mille Miglia and the factory version are Made in Italy, but like I said, the factory wheels are a few pounds lighter.
