QUOTE(SKL1 @ Jan 28 2013, 03:34 PM)  These wheels were done by Weidman as well though no flares. Wanted to keep body original. They do great work! Also used 911 16X6 fronts because of the more available tire options. What finish is that? I like it. Mine are currently black center 16x6 all around and was thinking of jazzing it up after repainting the car. |

QUOTE(Dasnowman @ Jan 27 2013, 02:56 AM) How about these, if I had a new porsche I would through a set of these on! THANK YOU FOR VIEWING THIS SPECIAL " BUY NOW " OFFER ! You bidding on: ( 1 ) Set of original Porsche 911 Sport Classic 19" Wheel and Tire Set Classic 911 Fuchs Wheel ( 2 ) Front 8,5 x19 with 235/35 x19 Tires ( 2 ) Rear 11.5 x19 with 305/30 x19 Tires The Weird thing is if you buy Porsche Classics from a Dealership they are Cast. If you buy them from Fuchs (who make them all) they are Forged. There are smaller Versions available now  QUOTE(Nürburg Nomad @ Jan 28 2013, 03:35 PM) QUOTE(ConeDodger @ Nov 5 2012, 08:13 PM) Here are some more thoughts on why Harvey uses 4 16X6 Fuchs to make 2 16X8.5. Are any businesses/craftsman taking 16x6" Fuchs and widening them to 16x8" or 16x8.5" with only one pair of wheels to original specs/lightness, not 4 16x6"s? I have a set of 16x6" Fuchs and it seems widening them to 8" (or possibly 8.5") would be more cost effective than finding an increasingly expensive pair of original 16x8" wheels. Lindsey only uses 1 16x6 to make another wheel (Basically cuts out the middle & welds it to rim halves), but I they step up the Diameter by doing this - a 16" becomes a 17" |

I really like the wheels on ConeDodger's car, the rears are modded and have the stepped 'look' of 8x15s but with the 16" diameter. Very cool.
In my opinion the 'dish' of normal 8x16s do not look as good as the 8x15s |
