Wheel?
Will this wheel work on my car? Is RDK the wheel with those puck looking things on inner rim?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/291797870026 "You will get the wheel in the description, not the one in the picture". Swell - take a camera and prove it. Here's my email address. The conversation ended there. I'm always skeptical when an "example" picture is used |
Yea good point, I noticed the size in the photo he has another wheel for sale with the same picture.

Guys the wheel is genuine and new but it has holes for some sort of pressure monitor used on the 928. Is there anything I can do to plug those holes on the inner rim?

True that based on this pic showing the triangle logo it is a factory wheel but for what it's worth, the part number is incorrect for a 968. He states to have wheel 965 362 164 05 and our correct 7.5 wheel is 965 362 124 05.
As to the answer to your question, purchase the sensor and install it. It does no harm just being there. |

Why not traipse over to the 928 board and see if anyone has some used ones they'd part with?
|
Or, if "traipsing" not your thing you could click or scan over.

So I just bought another 7.5 inch from Germany for $400 that I am waiting on.
Only one 9 inch left to go! I painted these 2 and they turned out really nice for spray paint can and clear. |
Wheels look great, nice work!
I'm planning to do that this spring with mine, care to share your process? |

I'm planning to do that this spring with mine, care to share your process? Fill imperfections with bondo or some automotive filler. Re-sand smooth Clean wheel. Paint with sandable primer. Wet Sand wheel smooth with 600 grit. Clean wheel Paint with Wurth silver wheel paint. Available at Autogeek. Let dry for an hour or 2. Do not sand silver coat. Go straight to clear coat. Trick is putting it on thick without it running. Give an hour between coats, do 3-4 coats. Have good lighting so you can see if the clear is going on smooth. The last clear coat try and lay it on thick, if it looks smooth and wet it will dry that way and you won't have to do any or very little wet sanding and polishing. The wheels in the pics dried like that with no polishing. I use Krylon crystal clear uv resistant. Available at Michaels craft store. Works great and dries fast, doesn't run too easily. I used it on my last cup 1 job and it dries hard, especially after a few heat cycles, and it won't yellow over time. I like to do back side first then tape holes and do front side last. Take your time, BE PATIENT and attention to detail. |

The wheels look great but I have always had issue with durability with anything out of a rattle can. I use a professional paint gun with a two stage urethane and a catalyst added for finish strength. If I had an oven, I'd cook them after application and they'd be even stronger. IMHO. Are these Porsche wheels or repos?

I think I read a while back that not all had the numbers near the valve stem. All the correct info is on the rear though.
