Default WHEELS

I ordered Fikse profile wheels and waited months only to be told they went out of business so I am looking again for wheels.
What wheels can any of you suggest for and 86 944 turbo that doesnt require spacers or other modifications. I currenly have 16x9 and 8 Fuchs but want to get some 18's with 10's on the back, 8.5's in the front. Any suggestions?



Thanks

I'd suggest looking at Foregeline...I have 3 sets for my 951 (perfect fit) and a set on one of my 993s...I've been extremely happy with them.

+1 on Forgelines. I had the RS series a few years back and liked them. Don't forget there are many choices with OEM wheels too.

Thanks all.
I have looked at the Forgeline and am considering the zx3p but its hard to say what they will look like on a red on black 944 turbo. I am thinking of matte black center with gloss black outers and black hardware.
Those 540's look nice, they are on my list at this point for sure. Again, its hard to visualize the wheels on the car but from what your car looks like they look great. Are your centers/outers polished or silver? Do you have any more pictures of your car?
CCW look a bit too cheap.
I will see what ramius has to offer.

Blitz,
I'm currently running Miro Type 371 wheels in 19x8.5 and 19x10. Unfortunately, they require spacers at the front and rear. PM me for pics, they look great but 19" tires are a little too spendy for me.

Thanks ramius but I am interested only in 18's and no spacers.
I take back what I said about the ccw's. I went to the web site and those lm20's look nice. They also have some nice one piece wheels.

CCW's are great wheels and the guys there are very knowledgable. I was going to get a set for my VW if I sold the 951, but decided to sell the VW instead and keep the 951 so i can get a real daily driver. The HRE's are polished lip and center.

Here is the only good side shot that I have for the HRE's

Very nice looking car Justin. You have a black car so the polished wheels look great. I would like to see those in silver with polished outers so I will check with HRE. Maybe full polished would look good on my red car also.
