Rick whatcha need to know?

I've had mine for about 3 months now and I've been extremely happy with them. I bought them used, but the rears were the wrong offset Per another rennlisters suggestion, I was able to trade my rears for a set of new ones with the correct offset from the factory. Nothing but good times now The company has been rock solid in the customer support department as far as I'm concerned.

These are excellent wheels. The P 3.6 model is used as a replacement for the original Speedline racing wheels on 964 Cup cars. They look identical. They are approved in Germany for club racing, and they are used over there. THe construction and quality is very high.

I am no expert, but I think that Carlos' wheels are the RH AG-Cup wheels. The RH P 3.6 wheels have a different style spoke style.

Have a look. www.rh-wheels.com

Carlos, do you have the 3-piece or 1-piece? How do you like them?

I noticed too; the 1-piece has that slightly fluted spoke while the 3-piece is flat.

Anyone have a comment on whether the 3-pieces are worth the substantial increase in price if you're buying them for street use only?

Very nice!

Does anyone know of a good ( well priced ) shop that sells them? I would love to have a set on my 964.

I'm confused. I went to the RH-alurad.de and it looks like none of the 18x10 rear wheels have a 65mm offset - which I thought was required to fit a narrowbody 993, especially a lowered one. Do you have to find one with a 40mm offset and use a spacer?

Anybody know what gives?

All: Thanks for all the information on the RH 3.6 and pictures, I really appreciate it. I searched for "wheel offset" last night to verify what it should be for a NB and was totaly confused. I think it is less than the 65mm with 18's but don't have a clue what it should be at this point. Old posts reference back to Wheel Enhancement for correct sizes and/or Tire Rack. I also thing it depends on what tire sizes are used and what the height of the car is or will be as well.

Rick,
Rear offsets for a 993 NB are 65mm for 18" wheels.

RH Cup AG wheels are only available for NB rears in 54mm offsets, meaning that they'll stick out 11mm too far. Can't fix that with a spacer. I had them on my prior 993, and the PO even had 285 tires on them. Yes, they stuck out pretty far but didn't look bad. HOWEVER, if you lower the car, you may have problems even with 265 tires; depends how low and the particular tire. May have to roll the rear fenders (20 minutes + baseball bat + heat gun).

Rick:

I have 18"ers on the rear of my 98 Cab with a 54mm offset. I run 265's on the rear, with the car lowered. Like David in LA said, you will have to roll the fenders. It does make for a very aggressive look.
