Why do you say that? They are stamped Made in Italy on the back and the outer rim says Speedline 808AO. Doesn't really matter to me, just want them in good enough shape to use as my track wheels.

The buldge on the spokes. They look like Aleseios (don't know if I spelled that right). Whatever they are, they are not OE for the 964. Maybe made for another wheel co.

So the wheels have 40 bolts, have the Speedline bolt heads, they are 18" and what exactly are you trying to do? Do you have damaged outer rear halves? Want a larger (wider rear rim half)? I have spare 1.75" rear outer Speedline rim halves available, a few spare bolts and a couple of inner hoops.

Those most likely are Techart wheels that are made by Speedline for them. You could provide some measurements to be sure. Measure from the center of one bolt across the wheel to the center of the corresponding bolt head. Measure from the edge of the flange across the rim to the corresponding edge of the flange. My thoughts are they would be standard Speedline measurements, but you never know. Do the rims have Speedline etched in?

Sorry, I just read your other link and all the other posts. I guess I was almost on the mark. Where are you? If the rims are not too bad they can be straightened, if they have divits they can be welded and put back into shape, but usually you end up refinishing the complete wheel as they remove the clear coat to repair then you have one wheel that just will not look like the others.

I'll try and grab a picture of the damage, but here are some more details off the wheels.
Yellow tag on barrel - Speedline
Outer Etching - SPEEDLINE 10Jx18CH 108BR
Outer overall thinckness - 2 3/8"
40 bolts - Approx 15 1/2" center on center

I thought it might be easier and cheaper to replace the outers then to send to a refinisher.

These are track wheels for my 993NB

when you measure the outer rim measure from the seam back to where the tire bead hits the rim not to the very outside of rim where it rolls around to the face. Most common sizes with the offsets you described is a 1.25" outer for the front and 1.75" for the rear, but without seeing and measuring myself I am now speculating. I have seen some 6" outer rim halves that Ryan had that I am using to make 11.25" wide rear 930 wheels, and 2.75" outer rears that were with a 10" Speedline that had an ET of 40 had a deep dish look, but would not fit under a Turbo rear quarters.

If you are using these as track wheels, I would get the rims repaired and ignor the finish and use a straight and round wheel for racing. If a wheel hits a big enough pot hole, it will bend the rim half, the center and some times even cause the opposite rim half damage.

Look alot like Techart Daytonas. At least moreso than the Aliseos.
