CRAP!

I actually could use those. That is what is on the back of my 930.

Shipping would probably kill me though. I found my last set at Ernie's Alloys.

I wish I could snatch those up.

Yes and they are rare as hens teeth.

Apparently in the 1980's it was the cool thing to put 15x9" front wheels and 15x11" rear wheels on 930's. Tire Rack even sold packages to do this. One popular rim was the BBS RS gold centers and another was the GOTTI Gold centers. Mine has the GOTTI wheels. I wish I had the stock rims for it......

I may have to buy new rims for it when my current tires wear out.

If I convert to a single rear wheel, that'd fit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I have these same tires on the rear of a beach boys racing monterey 914 conversion from the '90s. I've been wondering how I can replace them when they are worn out as I never see this size listed anymore. Likely will have to bite the bullet and get larger rims and tires. Sounds like typically planned corporate obsolescence to keep the consumers coming back to the trough.

Yup, I used to use those before I found the now NLA Yokohama tires. I used to be able to buy a whole set for less than 2 rear Pirellis.

I think I'll just get different rims. The 930 eats tires rapidly.
