These are Ruf wheels. The Ruf Dallas folks should be able to set you up. Keep in mind that, IIRC, they are pretty heavy...

I agree one of my favorites. IIRC I believe they are around $3700 new. You may want to watch for a good used set.

I may have to hold out for that used set option as I just visited the Ruf Dallas website and they are posted as a wheel they currently retail anymore...

If anybody knows where I can find a set (new or used) I am an eager buyer!


TIA

I think HRE's look pretty nice on a 993.

I like many of the stock Porsche wheels better than these.

Wheels are a personal choice but have to agree with OP, love these wheels. Doesn't seem that RUF is or ever was too interested in selling them you can never find anything online about them or how to order. Did make note above that someone thought they were discontinued.

Those are okay, I guess. I like my ATS wheels better.

I think Rotiform has some similar looking knockoffs for quite the price savings.

Rotiform Nue Wheels
