Default What wheels?

I need to find some cheap wheels that are available in decent sizes. (No fuchs, phone dials, etc.) I am currently running a set of Fikse Mach V's, and they are too expensive to replace.

I think he's probably looking for early offset wheels like BBS, Enkei unless he wants spacers.

Ive already got 54mm spacers in the rear lol. My dad has enkei nt03+m's on his mustang, and they seem to be doing great so far. I've looked at these and they are a choice. I like the Volk Racing TE37 wheels, and basically all Volks, but theyre $700+ a piece....

The Volks are heavy. The NT03's are probably the lightest wheel out there for the cost. I have had them on my track car for 2 years now and they are still in excellent shape. The only thing I did not like about them was the center hub, it was held in place with screws that don't always come out easily.

My dads NT03's are the exact opposite. Were constantly losing those stupid screws

Adam,
I have a set of Carrera III wheels that are perfect. I was going to use them for track wheels, but I aquired another set of Kinesis.
The Porsche OEM wheels are:
Fronts 8" X 18"
Rears 10" x 18"
They fit 944 late model perfect and are fairly light.
I would like $1,200 for the set, they have some OEM Michelin PS2's fronts are 75% rears are 40%
Sincerely,
Max

The Volks are heavy? or do you mean they are expensive?

Volks and heavy in the same sentence is just wrong.
