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. Very Happy

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

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.

Awesome, thanks for the help...I take it the price is right for these wheel Very Happy

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! Cool

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!

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. Laughing

polished with black would look good as well.
