Found a set of porsche rims here locally that I am thinking of picking up tomorrow for $25 a wheel. Sounds fair to me!

Anyone know the offset of these? I want to run them on my 73 super...

$25 a piece for forged aluminum wheels. I think your getting screwed. :D

I run ATS Classics right now, and just like to switch things up now and then. 8)

Ignore the god-awful front end work, that is all being fixed now. But this is the car they will be going on. I was thinking of polishing them up nice and shiney.

So what are you going to do with the wheels. paint, polish, or both? Maybe chrome.

I was thinking polishing them...Im a little torn though, I will have to wait till they are in my possesion. The black polished look looks good on my car.

I believe those are the 2liter 914 rims and the offset is 40mm.

Those are what I have on my car.

I don't know about the $25 a rim price, I would have to agree with

Lurchseesu your probably getting screwed :lol: what is the guys number?

Awesome, thanks for the help...I take it the price is right for these wheel :D

At 40mm will I need to space them any? I have topline struts with sports springs that are more narrow,they allow me to run wider wheels.

They are "made for" a Type 3 offset wise! 8)

Went and picked them up. Really awesome guy. He had all the lug bolts but only one center cap. Heres a better picture. Only one of the rims has curb rash...that will be the spare!

And for an extra $10, he threw in the seats also!

Dude, that front end is not bad looking at all. I like it better than the stock super front, but thats just my $0.02. :wink:

Damn bro, thats a hell of a deal. I would chrome those wheels, i think they would look killer on you super. 8)

Well that front end was cracking at the welds and all bondo'd up by the p/o.

I have a Kamei Spoiler for the front end now.

I have never been a huge fan of chrome...too much bling for me. :lol:

polished with black would look good as well.
