Just to confirm guys, Speedline Alessios were not a factory fitted option.

Speedline for Porsche wheels oe on 993RS 8x18 ET52 & 10x18ET65





Speedline Alissio not oe, various width and o/s but generally more aggressive ET's

The Speedline Alessio wheel was a generic wheel they manufactured. These wheels were drilled for many different cars. I have seen then drilled for Ferrari, Aston Martin, and BMW. They use Speedline logo bolts and all the components are Speedline parts meaning they are interchangeable with the Speedline 3.6 Turbo and 993 RS Speedline wheels that were made exclusively for Porsche. You can always tell an Alessio wheel by the elongated lug nut area, the centers are heavier than Speedlines exclusively for Porsche and the center caps are very small and almost impossible to find. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

How heavy are the 18" speedlines? How to they compare in weight to the 18" hollow spokes?

Are the little bolts along the perimeter functional?

jim dorociak

Yes the Speedline wheels we are talking about are 3 piece meaning an inner rim, a center and an outer rim is bolted together. It is possible to change offsets, size of wheels and make them fit better than before. I do it all the time. I am currently building a set of 9.5 and 11.5 993 RS wheels for a special GT2 car in Brazil. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

You are right about the small center caps - apparently unobtainable......anyone have any leads?

I think that some guys are using some Ford center caps that have RS on them for the Alissios, there was a thread here recently that included that info

jim dorociak

Sometimes I find a cap on UK ebay, but even though it fits the centers, they do not easily snap in and usually break the plastic tabs off. I usually make center caps for the Alessio wheels I restore. They are a ton of work, but what is a guy to do. I have attached pictures of a special set of Alessio wheels that I built for a 930. I had the lug nut areas welded shut and then drilled in a traditional round hole and then removed the raised portion of the spokes and in the center where they connect to change the look of the wheel. I wanted to make the centers resemble some RUF style wheels. I think they came out well. Enjoy. Jim jdorociak@gmail.com

The 993 Targa came with Speedline-like wheels, were they made by Alessio?

timothymoffat

^^^^The Targa wheels, as well as the "Alessio", were both made by Speedline. Speedline is the Italian manufacturer, "Alessio" is a model.
