Hello Friends,
I am looking for a new set of wheels for my 97 Porsche 993, narrow-body.
I am going for a gold and black look. Its Black, with the tan interior, but its got yellow headlights and yellow/black floormats.

I really really would like 17' rims that look like these:

In an ideal world they would be 17", gold phone dials, that fill up my cars wheel wells without issues.

Does anyone have any ideas for me or have suggestions for where i should start looking.

Thanks so much!!!

I'm not a gold fan, but I guess black/gold theme might work.

Why not start by painting the oem Cup 2 wheels gold?

Not going to be cheap but Rotiform makes a very similar design to the Lamborghini phone dials. They can make them any size, offset and color you want.

5 lug Factory phone dials came on 80's 911, 924s & 944 but I seem to recall they only came in 15" or 16":
16" wheels look nice on a 911 if you want to consider this route. Not sure about offsets:

Early offset wheels do not fit late offset cars.

1987 or later 944 or 968 wheels look kinda right and have the correct offset (if you can stand 16" wheels).

Ok all this info is great. The Rotiforms i think are not really what im looking for.

I really dont mind small rims.
I have '79 928 phone dials I could rip off my dad, but I am understanding that those will not fit.

I am getting excited about the prospect of buying 16 inch phone dials off an older porsche and painting them.
For a narrow body car, should I be paranoid about which size I get? I have never bought non-stock rims before, so any help for a newbie is very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Another option to throw into the mix is our HRE 454 Wheel. Only issue is that we make these in 18" and up only, no 17" options.

Paul,.I'm not sure they'd clear the 993 brakes? And I don't remember the sizes, exactly. but think that 944/968s had a square setup, no

Strosek had a wheel that looked like that, guessing they only came in 18"? OZ racing made them. I imagine hard time finding them.

968 didnt come with teledials, they had their own Cup 1's

Good luck, Dave. Keep us updated & post progress pics

^ The Stroseks are the most "Countachy" wheel made for Porsche. I've read they were available in 17". They are of course no longer made. Interestingly, OZ made both the early Countach wheels and the Stroseks!

The Rotiform DIA or the HRE above is probably the most similar available today. The raised 'spokes' on the HREs are more reminiscent of late Countach wheel than the early one in your picture.


Rotiform also makes the STR, which is more like the Porsche Phonedial.
