Default RS Wheels - where? Anyone?

Forgive me for beating this absolutely to death, but I haven't seen anything in a long time. Does anyone still have a line on these? Bueller? Bueller? Nick?

There is a set of centerlock RS wheels on ebay right now. Could be drilled.

993_Pilot: Yeah, saw those. Interesting. Are you sure it's just a matter of drilling? Same offset, etc?

Calvin: Oh, right. Will try that route today.

Thanks!

I know that they can be drilled, but I am not familiar enough to know what the offsets are for the centerlocks. He only shows the offset on one at ET53 which would work well for the front, but he doesn't say which wheel that one is. Send him a PM and ask what the offsets are on those wheels.

+993. His work is BETTER than OEM. 100% recommend him. Mine arent the RS centers but they are custom offset.

I guess I missed that part. ET53 front and ET60 rear will work for a narrow body

I don't have too much of an idea, but I bet Jim Dorociak could tell you... and also help with the drilling and refinish of the one marred wheel. Send him a PM.

Those wheels use the same center front and rear. It is offset more than a stock 993 RS wheel. The center pushes out roughly 1/4" further than the stock center. Stock would be 8" 1.25 and 6.5 ET 52, this wheel is 1.25 and 7" ET 53. and in the rear the 993 Rs center pushes out 1/2" further than the front and then uses 1.25 and 8.,5" vs the mag wheel which uses 1.75 and 8" ET 60. All these sets were sized for the narrow body cars.
I have a set of Tramont wheels the centers are the same front and rear. They do not push out as far as the mag 993 RS center locs, and these are currently sized at 8.5 and 9 - but I have parts here and want to replace the (4) outer rims and can build 8.25" front and in the rear I can build 10.5 or 10.75" depending on what parts are available in inventory. I also have a set of Daytona Speedline centers available for a custom build. Jim jdorociak@gmail.com
