The porsche 912 wheels might be fit your looking for,
they're 15x4.5 and 5x130. Later Porsche spare wheels have
the same center but are 15x5.5.

I was also looking for a set. I tried ebay, nothing found. It will just be just for when the car goes to the body/paint shop and upholstery shop. I wouldnt want to send the car with the high dollar wheels.

Type in "porsche spare" in ebay motors. I think there are at least two different offsets with the 5.5 wide wheels. Does anybody know what the different offsets are?

You know... when you say you "Tried E Bay" don`t you realize that in the time it took you to post that there have probably been a 1000 new items listed? Just like here on The Samba you need to constantly check.

Well I do check ebay often. I usually don't find sets of these steel "spare" wheels. I often find one rim here and there. In my opinion it would be a stupid choice to purchase these wheels from 4 different sellers. I would rather save a $100 or so on shipping and handling from buying a set from one seller. So far I am tempted in settling for a set of phone dial or cookie cutter type wheels, only time will tell.

Ok, really, how bad do you want these? :?

There's a TON of them available. If you want to wait forever just to save some shipping costs, that's your call.. but you could have a full set put together in a matter of days if you weren't so picky. If they're just to roll a car around while it's getting body work done, it doesn't sound like you need anything fancy....
