Default Got the RUF wheels on the car...

These have always been one of my favorite wheels - 3 piece forged RUF modular wheels produced by O.Z.

I couldn't believe it when I found a full set at my local PCA swap meet - even more amazing that they were compatible with the 951 offsets!

Specs are:
Front - 18 x 8.5 ET50 Pirelli PZero Rosso 225/40/18
Rear - 18 x 11 ET60 Pirelli PZero Rosso 285/30/18

They definitely fill the arches, but do not stick out at all... The car will be receiving a double adjustable Koni coilover suspension set up, so will eventually sit nicely on the wheels.

Can't wait to get this car back on the road with all the new goodies.

i need to add... i would like to see your list of parts. Cause that look is what i want. Suspension, etc..... what year is the turbo... i have early offset so that might be a problem with getting wheels like that.

285 or 295 tires on a 951 are just...pure sex. It makes the *** look that much tighter. I can't help but to look at the 285's on the back of my S2 everytime I see it.

Car looks awesome though. I haven't ever seen those wheels before.

Thanks for all the great comments guys...

The shop is actually Disasterman's - but we share a great mechanic (eniac) & he's been kind enough to let me have the car there during this period of modification.

Oh, and this shop is the mid-size of his 3 garages...

I'll post a full parts list once all are installed - should be done soon.
