Default any idea about what wheel is on this 964?

Never saw this chrome wheel before, seller confirmed that it is porsche original. Since previous owner is the owner of a porsche dealership in U.S, he got this wheel as a special order.
Anyone has an idea about this wheel?

Not sure of their name, but they are off of a 928.

They are typically called "16 inch seven slot wheels". They are light and forged. I have a set here that I may or may not keep.

Pretty sure you could order them on a 964 if you wanted. Not sure who would, but heard you could.

Otherwise known as "sewer lids" or "manhole covers". They are one of the lightest factory wheels. Very nice. They were an optional wheel for the 964.

Got them. Love them. The 6" are hard to find. I had to get creative.

No 9" in this design.

If you look up the rothmans rally 959 replica made a few years ago, you will see the wheels the owner made from the seven slots by cutting out the holes and making them seven spoke rally wheels. Very cool
