You guys have been around enough that I'm hoping someone will recognise this wheel and manufacturer.
Pretty sure it's on a Porsche 130mm bolt pattern, could be a 15" or possibly even a 14"?? Likely 70's era design. I was thinking an older Gotti? - but I can't find any other pictures of a matching wheel design in multiple Google searches. Any ideas?? Thanks, Jeff Attached image(s)

Just to put closure to this quest - I did find another wheel matching the one above, on the Pelican 911 classifieds.
Turns out it is an older Gotti design, but a looooong time since this style has been available. I think Gotti rim halves are available though, so a good set of centers could be turned into usable wheel sizes and offsets, for a price.... It seems most Porsche spec Gottis were in super wide 911 Turbo sizes - like 9 and 11" widths, but nearly all were of the type that has the lug nut in the center of each spoke. These seem to be fairly readily available, but look somewhat "clunky" in comparison to the early style above, at least IMO. Oh well - another good looking wheel slipped out of availability in the sands of time...... Jeff |
