Im looking for 18" wheels for my 89 951 under 1500 $
Im aiming more for looks than performance. But I only found few reps I would like to buy are the keskin kt2 or veloce 3.6, and its still hard to find those for sale, maybe some one has a set and are willing to part with it? Any imput would be appreciated

MY02 look good on a 944 (my opinion), are light, and within your budget. Carrera IIIs (8, 10) look good as well.

It's very difficult to run rims with any kind of lip on a late offset 951 due to the high offset required. Deep dish rims are possible on an 86, but not as easy to make work on an 87+. Sorry to smash your dreams.

I had black Keskin kt2 wheels on my 87 951 when I bought it (8.5, 225/40 front and 9.5 285/30 in the rear). I changed them almost instantly to OEM phone dials but while I had them on I did not notice any rubbing. You can see a picture on the sticky thread show your 951 pics here" page 233. I could sell them for EUR 450, but the shipping cost to US from Latvia might be unreasonably high in the end. You can find new sets on German Ebay for EUR 800.

They say hat thay are sending them to EU, but I'm sure you could find a solution.

I think the keskins have the offset of 55 I think they would fit

I have these on my car, for whatever reason rennlist won't let me post pictures of it. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/atta...3pc-chrome.jpg
They're 18x10 and 18x8.5, I think (my car is currently in the shop). 275 on the rear and 235 up front. I had slight rubbing initially up front, but no other issues.
