I need one. I have Boxster rims on my car. I think the bolt patter is OK but what about the offset???
I see a few on Ebay and would like to buy one. I even found one up here in Canada. WDYT? 944 rim |

This is one of my space saver wheels. It will be refinished and I have a special mount that I made from an A/C bracket I got from Bruce that I welded on the back side of the Gas tank wall on my 914-6 so it clears the oil cooler. On my 914-8 it will go in the rear trunk.
They are tough to get off the rim. You need to fill them with air for some hours and then when you deflate them they stay tall. After they mount them they need to hit them with a bat to get them to lie down. Bob  |
