Just buy them from Jim... The comments you see above are not given lightly & the praise is well deserved. I just had a set of extremely unique wheels built buy him & they are worth every penny. He's a craftsman.
If you are simply looking for the cheapest possible way to buy a set of RH's, enjoy the wait!

Pretty sure he took them to or had them picked up by Wheel Doctor in Gaithersburg,Md. He does great work and is one of the few around here who will still do three piece wheels.

Yes, Wheel DR. They moved from Gaithersburg to Frederick, MD. I don't have his number with me at home but can get it for you. He is sometimes hard to get a hold of and it will take sometime to get them back but its worth it. He can also power coat the centers any color you want but he does use an outside vender to fully polish the lips.

clutch-monkey I just sent you a PM.
Les - thank you for the kind words, the pleasure was all mine.
I am just finishing a set of special Speedline Alessio wheels for a 930 in Tucson. I built with special modified centers that I always wanted to build. I had the elongated lug nut area on the centers welded up and then drill back with a traditional round hole. I flattened the ridge on the sides of the spokes at the same time basically changing the look of the center. It was requested that I build a total black wheel. I built 8.5 and 11.5 wheels and black anodized the outer lips and then clear coated with TSC. I used black bolts, painted the inner rims black and they came out great. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

They may bolt up but the negative offset characteristics of the late 964/993 allows more wheel to the inside than early 930's were designed for thus the rear's may rub if they bolt up at all.
This inherent negative offset would also not appear to fully fill the wheel well ...Bert

TT: We have a setup that fits perfectly on the 930: No spacers required, and they have a lot of lip on them.

I sold the Turbo without the RH wheels. I bought these used from SpeedBump and had them totally refurbished and they look great. The tires have less then 300 miles on them. I'm not allowed to post a price on here so if someone is interested send me an email at hlrbj@aol.com I will NOT ship them, located in Maryland.
