Default URGENT...need a rim...problem solved, thanks

Hi, folks, I'm off to Watkins Glen shortly, and discovered I have a cracked rim.

Does anyone have a 16x8 Fuchs, early (951) offset they would be willing to part with? It doesn't have to be pretty, just straight and intact.

Thanks
Bill

Try Whale Tail Porsche Parts. There is a good chance they have one.

Yeah, thanks, Imre. They don't have 16". Nineapart has a pair he won't split up, and for which he wants $1800, a price that would be almost reasonable for a whole set! I'm looking at other alternatives.

Bill, I have the set of late offset ROH 16x7 and 16x8s in my avatar photo, but I realize that isn't quite what you're after, and I'm pretty far from you.

Bill, I have a full set of 16" phone dials with r888s that we could discuss ...not sure if they would fit (depends on which brakes you have). maybe you would be best to buy a set of cup2s from someone.
anyways let me know if you want to discuss the phone dials...btw I am also going to the cups and saucers event

Thanks, Danny, I think I have it worked out (though I'll likely be on streets @ C&S). See you there!

Thanks Ian!

Bill, I'll see what I can do to get that one wheel to you before Tuesday. I'll bring the others to the track.

Best,
