Default Ruf speedline wheels?

Has anyone seen these? What are they worth? Will they fit a NB 993? I've not seen them in any of our many wheel threads...

I've seen those on 964s. It looks like they're maybe 8.5" & 9.5"? I can't read the offsets though. What are they?

I think both NB and WB offsets are available. I have heard that they are very heavy.

Rick if you are looking at Lou's wheels I think the rear offset is not large enough I think he told me they are 48.3 on a 9.5 wheel. It may depend on tire size selection.

Yep. He said they are 8&1/2 et 0 and 9& 1/2 et 48.3. Weird offsets, but I figured it might be a typo on the front...

Only way to be sure, take a set of your wheels that work on a 993 with you and compare offsets, if you want to use my FISKE wheels to do this let me know.

I can now see ET 48.3 on the 9.5" wheel, but the 8.5" with ET 0 is a definite typo. They'd have a hell of a dish if that were the case! I don't see anything after ET on that wheel which is weird. Maybe it's on the back of one of the spokes or something?

In any event though, I'm with Rich. If the 9.5" wheels have an offset of ET 48.3, I think that's too low. By my calculations, as they stand they'd stick out 10.3mm further out on the outside than a set of MY02 5 spoke rears (10" ET65). Don't know if that's rub territory, but I'd think it's getting close.

They've never been out of the boxes, seller wants $2200. I'm happy to pass along info if anyone wants them.

I'm actually looking for some track wheels in 17", but these came up locally, so I was intrigued...

Been working too much. Haven't had time to make it down but need to. Don't think I'll make this DE but will keep trying. Thanks for the offer!
