RUF's Arrived Today
So I got my RUF 18's today that I stole off eBay last week. I am looking for a local shop in Atlanta to refinish them to like new condition. They are a 7/10 as they stand . 3 of them 4 have some clear chipping and or a bit of rash. Since I got them for such a steal I am most likely going to refinish them. I am going to clean them and mount them up tomorrow as they are filthy .
I am also looking for RUF centercaps if anyone knows where some are

Those look like 17" wheels to me. The center caps will be hard to come by and be prepared to pay dearly. I would just make my own. Get a set of generic caps painted the same color as the wheels and then get 4 black RUF stickers and you're done. Good luck!

That pic does make it look bent, they are straight they just need a little love
They are 18's , perhaps it's the bad picture

I love E-bay, I got my track wheels off of the there for $350. They were 17 inch Boxster twists, just needed a little love as well.
Congrats, a refinish should bring them back to life!

Wheels installed today with 8mm spacers all around. I am going to get some lager spacers for the fronts as the offset is 61. I think about 49 will be perfect for filling out the space.
Ilko,
The fronts are 18x8.5 with 235/40
The rears are 18x10 with 265/35
I have some H&R Reds I just need to motivate myself to install them this weekend.
The only bad thing is the tires were advertised as new and they may be new but the date code is WAY old. They will be okay for going to the grocery store but I will not beat on them.
I am looking for some local wheel re-finishers right now. I am going to have the wheels done, get new tires and lower it all at the same time. Hopefully all works out. Here's a teaser pic from the rain today and yes.... I know it looks like a 4x4 right now with the ride height.
