Default Selling another set from the collection - 1986 owners only! 17x8 & 17x10.5

These are really, really nice wheels that came off of a low milage 1983 930... Not sure of the exact offsets as there are no markings on them but I've measured the components & come up with the following:

Fronts - 6.5" inner barrel, 1.5" lip, 5.5" backspacing = ET24 (?)
Rears - 7.0" inner barrel, 3.5" lip, 6.9" backspacing = ET30 (?)

I used a calculator that I found thru google - so please let me know if those offsets look strange, but they seem right to me...

From the research I've done, I believe that the barrels, outer rims and hardware are Kinesis - though I'm not sure of the manufacturer of the centers. The wheels don't appear to have ever been separated either.

As stated, these are 17"x8" front & 17"x10.5" rear - very nice deep lips. As you can see, the condition is excellent inside and out. They are surprisingly light also.

Asking $2000 plus shipping. Please note that the center caps are not included - but can be for an extra $100...

Please PM me if interested - thanks!

These look like the ones BW Motorsport used to sell-Kinesis outers, Japanese inners or vice versa. You may want to contact them for information, they used to advertise these all the time in Excellence.

I think the ET's F+38, R +42...

F = 5.5 - 1/2(8) ~ 1.5" or 38 mm
R = 6.9 - 1/2(10.5) ~ 1.65" or 42 mm

You may be right... I did see a post somewhere that BW MS had sold a 5 spoke, 3 piece wheel that used Kinesis components.

Hmmm - I know that these fit a 1983 930, so I don't believe that the offsets could be that high...?

either way, beautiful wheels...
small spacers would work ~15 front and I'm guessing 20-25 rear
those are wide *** wheels

Beautiful wheels!

Any interest in trading for a set of early-offset-compatible 18" CCW Classics w/tires?

Thanks - but this is my last set of early offset wheels & I'm selling because I don't see myself buying a 930 as originally planned... The 993's are coming down in price!
