How hard it is to find original Ruf wheels 8.5x19 and 11x19 like the ones in this photo? I currently have a set and am debating on keeping them or selling them depending on how hard a new set would be to find in the future (could be a couple years). I had them on my 4S, sold that car, and was planning on putting them on a future 993 Turbo, but that is looking like it could years from now. Question: Do I sell them now and find another set when and if I get a 993 Turbo or do I hold them because they are hard to find? I'm not trying to sell them, just want some advice. Car was sold, but I kept the wheels.
Thanks!
I bought a set of the original 19's about 9 months ago. I took me about 6 months to find them and I ended up paying more than most people plus having to get them refinished. It seemed to me the prices were going up on these. Every time I saw a set go on sale they were gone. I looked into the new ones but the look is slightly different.

If you don't want to deal with knock-offs & structure questionable wheel when buying used rims later I suggest you to keep them. Seems like anything NLA these days brings a premium regardless if they are better or not. The priceless factor here is you have a set of genuine wheel that you know the history. So if money & space are no issue I would def keep them.
The new forged wheels look great, but v expensive. Does anyone have a pic of them on a 993tt?
Was also looking at the RS184 but they are a bit wide at the back
If helpful, I tried for a long time to make sure the RS184 would fit before buying a set and could not come up with a definitive view (without rolling fenders). The rear offsets are aggressive for 993 (but work on 996).
What are people running for tires on 19s? On 11'+ rears, I've read that 315/25-19 is the right size but Michelin stopped the PS2 in this size and I'm hesitant to get boxed into the Toyo T1R (the only tire in this size on tirerack). The fronts (225 or 235 width are plentiful).
