Default Chrome RUF Wheels for Sale
Guys, FYI, I have a set of Chrome Genuine RUF 19" wheels off my 997.1 C2S R-Kompressor conversion up for sale in the marketplace. I've never seen another set like them. Attached are a few pics and here is the link to the ad if anyone is interested. Achieves the same look as the super expensive polished versions, but at half the cost.

Are you selling your 18"? I've been looking for 18" for a while!

Edit: Nm...just noticed you're from Sweden! Shipping would be $$$!

I'm putting my 19" for sale as well. You can see them in the Canadian thread I created...
For a short period I can ship from the US to US buyers (I'll drive across the border to save any fees associated with shipping from Canada). Will create a thread for it soon enough.
In the meantime...

Agree that the RUFs look great on a 993, but why not go with a lighter wheel?

Gents, it was this thread that got me hooked on these wheels initially but now my set of 19s are for sale.

Don't know a thing about the specs of those wheels...but omg...those Ruf's on a black car. Rudy's Turbo on post #6 put me to the cold shower... I've had my hollow spoke twists for 15 years now, and every time I see those Ruf's on a black car...I want to trade my wheels

ruf's really look great ... clean strong 5 spokers always look good to me

but imho 19's are too much for a 993... esp. quite heavy ones like the rufs... too much 'show' not enough 'go', for a car that is relatively short on HP by modern standards

I never used to like the RUF wheels they looked to plain, but now i think they are some of the best looking wheels, go figure!

The new 19" wheels from RUF are no longer the old heavy cast versions. They are now produced by a new supplier, and are of the lightweight forged type!
