Default Any good place to purcahse a RUF wheel?

I am just wondering if there is any good place to purchase RUF wheel for a 96 993TT? It's hard to get them from Taiwan, only place to go to is RUF EURO. I am starting to look a place in US that might be easier to get them. Thanks


BTW, anyone can show me the simple way to upload photos?

Except that they pulled away from RUF a while ago so they do not officially carry the RUF stuff. They do have lots of RUF contacts and still have some stock,and I bet they can certainly get the wheels as well so they are worth trying. Try uli.andree@weissach.com who is their main parts guy.

Cheers,

You're right Mike - I just checked their web-site and no more RUF products.
When did they pull away - I remember checking maybe four to five Months ago and I did not notice the removal of the RUF stuff from their site.
Mike, I may meet you soon, Guy wants to get together so I can collect my calendars - maybe at your place.

Cheers

Yeah, he mentioned that...the more the merrier. Given the other threads maybe we should check Guy's car's driveshaft flanges for the correct torque.

Weissach still has some RUF products but they were representing Lotus (for the Elise, etc. ) and introduced Lamborghini and the RUF products were not part of their primary focus so they mutually agreed to part their ways. They still have a long history with Porsche products though and are one of the best places to get Porsche parts in the lower mainland (forget MCL, they only car if you drive something under warranty).

Cheers,

Mike
