Thought I cross-post in the 951 forum too since you guys probably sold a few sets.

What's the going rate for a set of good used (ie: minimal curb rash and not bent) 951S D90 style forged rims?

Have an opportunity to get a set, but don't know what to offer. Thanks!

D90 and turbo S are differnt rims....kinda look similar but very different build process.
The turbo S rims used to be a hot item for club racers - but now everybody has gone to cutsom rims.

Yeah they used to command a premium but, those days are gone now. With the economy right now they are WAY gone.


I'd say if you can get more than $400 US then you are doing pretty good given the circumstances.

Chris is correct, the D90 wheel I believe is Cast, while the Club sport, (turbo S), is Forged. I found a Club Sport set for $500 about two years back from a lister. No curb rash but quite dirty and stained. They are wearing snow tires, but one day will be refurbished.
This link will help solve the part number mystery.
