Meek - yes they are from Porshapart - but the 9's are like brand new !!
The 7's are very good and all the wheels seem as if they have the original finish with lacquer so I am a little reluctant to referb at this time
I did phone Steve at Douglas Valley but they didn't have any thing for me.
Originality is nice - there is a little surface corrosion on one wheel - a minute bit on one of the 7's and curb rash at all on any.
- one or two marks on the 7 virtually no marks on the 9's.
I checked the numbers on the 7's and they are as I said - the part no is apparently for a 6" wheel - but comparing the 7's to my existing 6's, there is a definite difference.
- Oh woe is me - what is the truth !!
- You will enjoy the book and the site
- that C4 RS is very special

Rodders, sounds like a good set. It is nice to have the factory original look. That said, I put Cup 1's on my 944 Turbo, along with Cup mirrors Luckily the 964 is a '92, so I get all that as standard. The 9's and 7's must give your car a more aggressive look?
Agreed on the C4RS. I like the plexiglass side windows; very cool. What is the extra 'fuel flap' for?

I was thinking the same thing - but it can only be the oil filler.
I thought long and hard about the wheels - i had 10mm spacers on the standard wheels but there was not enough thread to be safe - so off they came. The RS made me decide not to go 17" - I love the look of the 7 and 9 wheels on the 964 - as i said before I am looking for a low key original RS touring car - without the pain hard core - the RS/GT2 do that so much better

Wheels fitted with 205/225 transfered - the car will clearly take bigger tyres - but what size and profile
- 225 fronts and 245 rear seem logical but what profile would be compatible ?
Any thoughts or advice
The wheels do make the car feel more set on the road and very comfortable - they seem a very good way of running a road car - I will try 17 at some point soon to compare
