All of the pics I posted above are 8/9 Cup mag PD's on two'88 Canadian Rothmans cars, one 87 US Cup, and one wannbe replica cup.

Here is that setup on a late offset car. The et23 rear wheels fit when you have enough neg. camber; gives the car a wider rear track.

Thread resurrection !!

I have found a tyre supplier who can help me know.
I need to decide if i should stick with factory 205/50/16 front and 225/50/16 rear or go with the suggested 225/50 front and 245/45 rear tires?

Im running 16" ET23 Turbo Teledials and i dont want to run any spacers.

HAHA i though you where stuffing around with the rims on the 951, untill i looked at the trailer!!!
id love to see how the 3 piece phone dials would look like!

Most likely we have several sets to take pictures from during late autun / early winter

How much would they go for?

I like phonedials so much I went with Turbo S calipers so that I could still use them for street driving Now if they'd only make 17/9s Common Sport classic RS with phonedials! instead of fuchs

around 1500€/set

long live phone dials. being old enough to rmember when they were new and porsche was putting them on everything, i always sorta hated them and switched mine out to 17" cups. but now as time goes by, they are my favorite wheel style and especially the way alfa romeo has kept them alive. alfa's phone dials are beautiful. too bad porsche didnt keep them going with at least a 17" size. the bigger they get, the better they look as then the holes get larger!

anyways, i found the perfect use for them though, (other than for track wheels of course)

Phones look great on VWs for some reason. I realy like that look.

PD's really seem to work great with early VW's.
Other than that, I didn't like'em 25 years ago, and don't like'em now.

Phone Dial's are MFUGLY!!!!

I replaced PD's with Polished Club Sport Wheels as soon as I was able to locate a solid set. IMHO the Club Sport Wheels really look superior on the 951.

Had them on my mk2 golf, early offset in 16 inch. Loved it.


With a low profile tyre these wheels are great. To bad the wheels on a 944 are not like this. But on an early 951 these are just the only wheels you should have.

i think the phone dial design is pretty damn nice as far as wheels go. the main problem is that they are just too small for 951's. if porsche had done a 17 or 18" phone dial, they would be great. something about the round holes which just is sexy! (insert your own jokes here!) and while so many wheel designs are the same and not very unique, phone dials stand apart.

club sports/design 90's? really? i find those just too plain. all the vw people always use those and i can't figure it out. i mean to go out of your way with the added expense of adapters for that look just doesn't make sense. i guess maybe cuz they like chrome or polishing which i have a natural vomit reflex towards. plus, they block all the brakes underneath. like lingerie, wheels should reveal some of what is underneath! (time for another joke here.)

anyways, phone dials i think will continue to gather fans & appreciate as time goes by. and for a wheel which was on every porsche in the 80's, it is almost unseen these days.

kinda like the rotary phone dial it gets its name from!
