Need mint condition (only) front and rear. no re-conditioned ones please.

thanks,

 

I have a hard time believing that any Turbo 3.6 owner would willingly sell their beautiful original wheels and replace them with aftermarket wheels. Did you have an accident and damage all four?

Anyway, if you can't convince anyone to sell their wheels to you, the British magazine, Porsche & 911 World, has a company that advertise new original Porsche wheels under the "hens teeth" section.

Unfortunately, the prices are in accordance with their rarity. Yell out if you want the details.

 

I own 2 '94 964's (black on Black 18K miles and Grand Prix White w/ Black interior, factory white piping 14K miles) After damaging one rim, have decided to find a spare or 2 for the future.

regards,

 

I scraped one of my rear rims while parking and took the other route i.e. it and the other 3 wheels are off being refurbished as I write this.

I took the refurbishment route because of the new cost US$3,625 for a set of genuine wheels with painted centres and US$4,495 with chrome centres. Curiously they don't list my exact wheels, which have polished centres.

Good luck, with your search. It pays to think ahead....imagine trying to do this in 10 years time when almost every rear rim will have been damaged at one stage or another.

BTW: any other things that you think it may be wise to hoard?

 

I believe new original Turbo 3.6 3-piece wheels are over $6000.

Even at used prices (good condition), they are over $5000 a set without tires.

There was a lot of discussion about these wheels a while back.

Hi Sonny,

$6,000 is truly outrageous, I'll never have the courage to parallel park again!

BTW: Love your site, I used it for info when I was in the process of buying my car.

 

With all this banter about how expensive these 3-piece wheels are now, How would one go about getting a cracked spyder replaced?

 

got a replacement Speedline 18" rear wheel through a buddy who owns a fine west coast auto body shop.
$1550 is dealer cost.
Threw it on today with a full set of Bridgestone Potenza 3's, got her all aligned and balanced. Damn! A huge improvement over the Michelin MXX3's.
Didn't even start to get loose tonight at 55 mph on the sweeping right hand from PCH on to Topanga Canyon Blvd. I highly recommend the Bridgestones.

 

Have you guys considered the RH replicas? I picked up a set at the local pcar shop and they don't feel too heavy. In fact, they feel lighter than my cast 17" C2 Turbo replicas on the 944TS. They look really beautiful and the finish looks superb.
