There is a set for sale http://www.germansportscars.net/en/p...nal-speedline/ My understanding is they want crazy money for them. I have no doubt yours are equally as nice if not nicer. It seems like yesterday when Jim started doing these. I know a lot of wheel shops that will do nice work cheap but Jim is the only person I would trust my speedlines with.
Great book. Amazing how many were painted speed yellow. I still want the one cobalt blue one if only I could afford it.
I have a set of E88's coming in all black for track use as well as a set of silver fikse's I use. For street the speedlines are my choice. Car looks so correct. IMO the WB with NB rear trailing arms is the ultimate 964 setup.

just followed your link, i will contact them, those wheels need rework, the clearcoat suffered at the bolts and valves.
Speed gelb and white are definitely the best sellers, i am thinking of anodizing a set of bbs in grey with grey centers, will have to photoshop to see how it looks like.
I did follow your thread, it was a great inspiration
Wow, that is stunning. I'd have a really hard time choosing between the BBS and the Speedlines. Probably just swap them out every couple days for best results.

thanks!, that is probably what i am going to end up doing, each set gives another character to the car
The last like new condition set I saw in 9 & 11 vs the 9 1/2 & 11 sold for over $20k a few years ago. $15k needing refurbishment sounds about right.
There can't be too many original sets floating around anymore.
BTW I noticed that in the RS book they mention the RSR's received 9 1/2 & 11.5" wheels. I have never seen 11.5 on any RSR and my set appears to be matched with the same markings on the inside. This set for sale is also 9 1/2 & 11 so I am assuming that is a typo?

i agree, rarity is boosting the prices.
i just checked in the german rs book and it says the same , 11.5 on rsr’s to allow 305 tires, strange as all homologation speaks about 11inches... to be double checked
I know I have a matched set from an RSR purchased from the original owner. All dated 11-93. Are 9 1/2 & 11. They also had the rings added for the center locking hubs. I since removed them and use the center caps but are easily added.

What a beauty!
my holy grail!
my only guess that porschr]e might have offered an upgrade to allow the wider tires (easy with 3 part wheels) or were those than the bbs for the le mans rsr ( and no speedlines)?
i also saw at the historics in laguna in august a modified rsr with wider front track, never seen before a widened fender like that, was told it was origially delivered like that,i was left in serious doubts...
^^^ you never know but doesn't look like any added on flairs from the factory I have seen. The early RSR's and GT2 Evo's looked much cleaner install than those.
I would expect more info about this in the book but I haven't made it all the way through yet.
The added front width would definitely change handling. I am pushing mine out as far as I can with 993 front components.
