Default Speedlines

Anyone know where there is a set available at a decent price? I would like originals if the price is right, but more than likely Alesios will be fine too...looking for the next step for the 993 RS retro look............

Good choice. I wonder when Gert came up with these, it took me months of searching to find a new set.

I have a set of Speedline Alesio's currently apart awaiting a buyer so I can paint and build to fit. I have parts to make 8.5 fronts and 10.75" rears or 8 & 10's.

Nice wheels -

These wheels can be installed on any narrow body 993 or on the wide body with a 31mm spacer on the rear axle.

Try contacting Jim Dorociak. I just bought a set of RS Speedlines from him. He completely refurbishes them, and the end result is amazing. If someone can tell me how to shrink my photos I can post some pics of the wheels.

$2700 for a set fully refurbished in a condition better than when they were new. I have enough parts to choose from that I can make 8 or 8.5 for the fronts and 10, 10.5, or 10.75" rears.
I am including pictures. The 993 RS Speedline is a front and back from the set I restored for Evan. I also included a close up of the "SPEEDLINE for PORSCHE" that I re etch back into an original rim after a full polish. The last picture is of Matt Malec's car with the Speedline Alesio wheel set I sold him a couple of years ago.

Wow...I believe I bought my first 3 sets for less than 2500 Euros and that's back when the exchange rate was really favorable. I'm sitting on sets in the attic now that I'm treating as my kid's college fund!

So Rick, how about letting me "borrow" a set for the 97? I'll give them back in great shape, honest!

Jim...

Are you able to produce these in a widebody offset of ET35 to ET40 with a deeper lip/dish than the original RS Speedline ??

yes, I can build it, but will have to have parts made. However it lets you get the deep dish look.

The stock 993 RS wheel was a 8.5 inner with ET of 65 and used a 1.25" outer hoop making a 10"

If wheel was assembled with a 1.75 would be a 10.5, 2.25 would be an 11" or you could build with a 7" inner and a 3.75 making an 11" but with deep offset. Turbo body or C2S, C4S I have one 3.75 and could build a test wheel for viewing. It obviously changes the price, but you get what you want. Jim

I just built and refinished a set of 3.6 Speedline wheels and used 2.25" outer and a 8" inner making a 10.5 rear wheel, then I moved the std 1.75" rear outer to the front making a 8.5" front wheel. Jim

Here is a picture of a 2.75" outer rim on the Alesio wheel, just to give you an idea. Jim
