Fellow members, I restore Speedline wheels, but recently bought a set of Supercups thinking I could restore this set while waiting for my next Rennlist friends set needing my help. They are 18" 8 & 9.5 and will get a full restoration to include a tune up verifiying every is straight and true, centers will be painted, inner hoops will be painted, outer hoops will be stripped, polished and clear coated with TSC and bolts will either be refinished or replaced (tbd upon diassembly) and will be in like new condition when I finish with them. I have a new set of Porsche center caps with emblems that will be included. jim. jdorociak@gmail.com

cat looks pretty big to me, if it had a short tail I would think it a bobcat. Sorry it seems I have made a mess out of this post - question is what is everyone doing reading this on a Saturday night? jim

Ive been looking around trying to find some 3 piece phone dials. Ive seen fuchs cut to make 3 pc fuchs, but never phone dials. Do you do custom work, say If I sent my extra phone dials?
Edit: Seems like 3 piece phone dials could look sweet.

Matt - Great looking white 993 CAB with Speedline Alesio's perfect combination--- I sometimes send this picture so they can see how good looking the wheel is on a 993 and then send if someone asks about center caps as we both know they can be difficult to find a good solution. I like your cat. I can tell by the way he walks he is a fighter. Funny how some people see the picture and either comment on the cat or the missing taillight. your buddy - jim

Agreed. Techart made 3 piece wheels from Cup wheels and they looked very good -- the only wheel that competes with 3.6 speedlines in my opinion. Techart calls them Techart Daytonas. Those wheels also have always made me wonder how good phone dials would look as three-piecers.

Jim,
Can you quote me on having the outer hoops coated and re-etched with the Speedline logo for my 17" Alessio's?
I may try to rebuild these myself in order to color code the center's Arena Red. What type of hardware is correct and is there a special tool to get the Speedline bolts off?
Last what do you charge to make the center caps? I hate the black colored Speedline Porsche crested caps.

I actually prefer regular emails, lets me track all that has been said and provides a timeline for the discussions. Most who know me know I am always checking my emails and will respond as fast as I have a moment. jdorociak@gmail.com
hoops get expensive - especially if you are the guy who needs to buy 4 new inners or 4 new outers to custom size or create a one off set of wheels. Ask the Fuchs guys who had to make 9 & 11 x 16 or 17 using Fuchs centers. There is a lot of machine work to make a wheel into just a center plus you have to supply the wheel to be modified. I also provide my phone number for those who like to interact that way. It also lets me get to know you as we build your set. 805-498-7261

If anyone needs to see any pictures of Jim's work just let me know. They guy is a freak when it comes to these wheels. (In a good way) ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
His attention to detail is top notch.
This is an amazing price. I can not believe these have not sold yet.

Guys it seems likely that Jim is promoting a business here in spite of not being a site sponsor. Until the situation is clarified, I'm closing the thread. Sorry!
