Looking for wheels like these - Lamborghini gold phone dials
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:

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!

you'd obviously need the 1987 or later wheels with the 52mm offset.
944 turbo was 7 and 8, club sport option 7.5 and 9.

here’s a set that sold a couple years ago. https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...al-wheels.html
you could probably run 205/55 or 225/50 front and 245/45 rear tires.

^ 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.
