........all four for 150$ ??!! .............dude thats hella cheap........


i like the lobster claws in general. they look good on the 951; definitely a change from the usual Porsche wheels.

nope....horrible deal. but since i feel bad for you, being given such a crap deal, ill give you 200 for them.

Where the hell did you find that???

That's exactly the sort of "steal" I'm prowling around for, right now...maybe not in 19", but damn those are nice, and $150 is pocket change even for BARE wheels, much less a set with tires, or worse, NEW tires.

Are you SURE this set wasn't stolen?

idk i might keep them, so everyday they remind me of my mistake ha
haha i got them at the local swap meet. i just saw them in the corner of my eye and asked how much, and hes said 150 i was like deal be right back and handed him cash.
i didnt think the 19s would be what i wanted but to my surprise they are actually quite nice. not going to lie lol

I always said 19"s look good on these cars. Seems to offend most people for some reason. As for the claw design, I think they usually look pretty awful but actually seem to work on your car. Nice pickup.
At $150 you can bet he didn't have the original receipt of purchase!!!

$150 is a smokin' deal. I would have RAN as fat as my little legs would carry me all the way to the ATM and back for that deal. If anything, just to turn around and flip 'em.

I've got 18s on my car and IMO they're starting to look "big". I'd think 19s would definitely look like too big of a wheel. But so far, from the angles in your photos - they look pretty awesome.

One thing I don't like about my 18s is the harsh ride and the fact that they follow EVERY groove in the road. Yes, alignment can have something to do with that too... but when I throw my 16" phonies on the car, it rides like a Cadillac by comparison. I imagine with 19s it's gotta be a handful over rough or rutted roads.

What they said! Like them better than the polished twists.

Looks like they badly need spacers. I didn't even consider 987/997 wheels for my 86 951 because the offset is too far off - monster spacers required.

Not bad loking but needs to come out a little. I actually had them test fit to my car a while back and the back would rub. How are you able to get the rears to fit? Fronts are 8.5X11 and rears are 19X11 w/ 305s...these don't look like the same ones I tried. Are you sure they are not after market???

im liking the 19s not gonan lie. they fill the wheel well and everything without any issues. i am even tucking tire a bit
My first intentions were to flip them and get some cup wheels or something else but i ended up liking them lol
as far as the ride, it still rides amazing not as bad as you would think it would be

thanks!
spacers would make it look amazing, i had my 1 inch spacers in the rear but they would rub (im waiting to get my fenders rolled)
these wheels as like many porsche wheels came in many different configurations. they are not after market they are genuine porsche wheels
also im and early offset as well .

Nice!

Make sure your trans mount is good, I was running a 245 and moved to a 295 and it rubbed like crazy because the trans was moving. A tube of Urethane and all is well.
