Thumbs up NEED Two (2) 993 Emergency Spare Wheels!

I need to find two (2) more 993 emergency spare wheels for my 356 "semi outlaw" project. I retired last year, and finally have time to work on our '65 356C Coupe that we have owned since 1975. I think the wheels with P/N 965.362.130.01 look really good on the 356's... but have only found two of them so far. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of $200 plus shipping. Can you help me out?

Thanks... please respond to me via my direct e-mail address: fordlandia@sbcglobal.net.

Do you have photos of these spares on a 356?

Here is a bit of the 356 outlaw look ... Old school vs. New school

Wow...cool look for that silver 356. Wonder how the red spares would look on that black 356...don't like the turbo twists. Are the spare tire rims made from aluminum or steel?

Nice. I really like the way they look. No spare spares for you however.... Best of luck with your search and post pics when you are done.

Aluminum. Cool look, who would have thought.

Same as in my 968, right? I might consider selling mine.

Is it safe to drive on those?



I've seen that silver outlaw before and I never even thought about the wheels, but they look very appropriate. What size tire fits on those rims - or should I just go out to the parking lot and find out for myslef?

Would love to see pics of your outlaw!

Default Not the Right Wheel...

If you look at the wheel pic I posted, you will see that the holes around the perimeter are round. The wheel on the eBay auction has a different shape: the holes are "U" shaped. Thanks for suggesting it however.

Still need two more 993 wheels PN 965.362.130.01.

Are you going to replace the inflatable tires? They are limited to speed and milage-as if ours aren't at 12K average for the rears. Good look and good luck.

Default Yes, New Tires For Sure!

Yes... the inflatable tires are not used in this application. It will be replaced with a new tire of the correct size. The inflatable ones are a real bear to remove: have to cut an access hole in the tread and side wall... then use a cut-off wheel to carefully cut through the steel "cable" at the bead. The collapsible tires were definitely not made to be removed...
