Does any one have any pictures of RUF wheels on a 993tt? I am considering them for my car but need to see a few pictures. Thanks.

John,

How do I get pictures of my RUF BTR into the owner's gallery? Also, are all those cars in all three gallery pages real RUF automobiles, or some are Carreras and turbos with RUF parts?

Thanks.

CP, I compiled that gallery of pics when I was mulling a Ruf conversion for my car a year ago, as I just love the aesthetics of all of the Ruf 993 models. Some are Ruf Vin, some simply have Ruf conversions or optics.

I added three pics of your awesome car to the first page.

John,

Thanks for the info. Those are lovely cars. All pics came from Rennlist users, or some are from the internet where ever you can find them? Thanks

Thanks for everybodies help. I have the RUF 18" wheels on order.

CP

Cliff,

Who are you ordering the RUF wheels from? Reason I asked is that I was at Weissach (Vancouver Canada) on 8-11-04, and they have their annual sale on their RUF wheels, up to 25% off!

So if that's not your source, may be this can help you save a little money. I'd check them soon as the sale may only be good till end of August (not 100% sure about that).

Another point. The regular RUF wheels by OZ are heavy. They have magnesium RUF wheels that are lighter. You might want to check on the wheel weight on your selection, so no surprises/hernias when the wheels show up.

Good luck.

CP,

Thanks for the update. I did get them on sale from Weissach in Vanacouver. They claim that the wheels weigh 18lbs, the same as my stock wheels. Viper Bob said that the wheels are a little heavier. I just had Bob upgrade my car to over 500hp so the added wieght should have little effect. The car should look awesome!

Not that it matters but I believe since the RUF wheel has the narrow body offset, you will also need the RUF spacers for your widebody.

CP

Cliff,

Just curious, so how much USD is a set of RUF 18s? Since I was not buying, I did not ask about pricing when I was there.

Thanks.

adsc4s, the wheels come with the spacers.
CP, they listed for 2950.00 but were on sale for 2450.00

Dear Dr.

If I get 19" won't I need larger tires? Also won't the ride be very rough? Also with less rubber I run the risk of bending them.

How do the 19" differ in looks from the18" wheels? What is the cost difference?
