Default Wheels with DEEP DISH. Post your pics

I am looking at some custom 18" Forgeline wheels with 2" front lips and 3" rear.

Please post pics of your deep dish wheels to help with my decision.

I really don't think you could go wrong with your selection!!

I have some deep dish wheels on my n/a, although they are 15's. Does that count?

If I had my 18" RUFs on my car I'd take a picture for you, but they have a pretty nice lip on the rears. Fronts are more subtle. It's not a 944, but here are what they look like:

There really isn't much out there for that car in a dish because there isn't much room for one....

Same 9" wide rears as 2bridges above, just from a different angle.

17" forgeline rs competitions here. Fitment is for a widebody early 911, but they squeeze in my fenders.

Here's a few different shots. Only the '86 will allow you a really decent dish, or you can do a widebody conversion like the first 3 pics here.

There's a few angles of my old car (89) which did have a pretty good dish on these Simmons wheels (9" & 10"). If you can get some more pics of JET951s car, his is an 86 with the same wheel. So it's got about as big a dish as I've seen on one of our cars. Looks great IMHO.

Sorry, couldn't resist! They're deep, but no dish... 8" fronts, 10" rears!
