sorry, I have no way of knowing this... if standard 993 cup rims work with spacers, then I don't see why these wouldn't work!

By the look of the pictures the front wheels are 8x17 +51. The rear wheels are a little harder to identify because of the angle of the picture, they could be 8x17 in a +54 or +41. Either way they would work well on a Boxster, or a 86 944 with spacers.

Did you paint them or get them painted when you bought them? I now own a set and want to get them painted. Did you undo the wheel an paint? What is the torque that you retoqued the bolts to? I like those alot...

It was done by Kinesis (not me).. It is a factory option from Kinesis to have the centers custom done.... (the standard option is slate gray).... Kinesis charges $120 extra per wheel for the custom centers. ...sorry, I have no idea what 'torque' to do the wheels since I never took them apart and Kinesis did it.. I'm sure Kinesis could tell you if you call them!

I did respond to you yesterday morning BUT that email addy ended with @optonline.net instead of @msn.com so I think your autoreply address is wrong... I see now I have email that bounced back as undeliverable

I tried to PM you now as well!

Don't count on it. They want you to return them to the factory for rebuilding.

I was told by Kinesis that the center bolts are torqued to 15-16lbs.
You must have asked nicer than I did.
