Hey guys
anyone have a set kicking around? Now that I need a set, they have become most scarce or most uber-priced. I sold a set for $600 a few years ago (not perfect of course) but now that I need them, they are through the roof (of course) Thanks! |

Hi Seanary
Thanks for the reply. Looking for 911 rear 8's , not 951 8's (front of a 911). Thanks for pointing this out, probably save me some time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -DMA |

depends where you want to use them. 951 8's are great on the front with 9s on the rear.

FWIW, I have a set of 7&9's that I use on my 914 (from a 930), and a set of 7&8's also, Im not sure where the 7&8's are from though.

What is the difference and what is better to use on a flared 914? The part number of the 8" x 16" Fuchs wheels that came on a 944 started with 951. The part number of the 8" x 16" Fuchs wheels that came on a 911 started with 911 (duh!). The offset of the 951 and 911 8" rims is different. 951's have a 23.3mm offset and 911's a 10.6mm offset, i.e., the 911 wheel would stand further from the chassis. Personally I like more the look of the 911 wheel since the center sits deeper in the rim. For usage with flares I'd think a 911 wheel would be better since it would require less spacer in the front to fill out the flare. I have 7.5" x 17" rims with 23mm offset for the front and will need a substantial spacer. In the rear you probably don't need a spacer with 911 wheels if you put a 245 series tire on. Drawback is that 911 8" wheels are more expensive than 951's. |

Hi guys
Sorry not to get back... the email thingie didn't let me know anyone replied (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Anyhow, I found a set... a local guy had a set on ebay, and I convinced him to end the auction early if I pick them up, pay cash, etc. He agreed, and I got a SWWWWWEEEEET set of 16*7/*9 with one .5" blemish, newly mounted ZR tires, for $1300.00. I had another deal in the works for $2200.00. Not bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks, DMA |
