Rotiform and 1552 make whatever width you would like... We just installed a set of 18x13 on a RWB this past weekend...

One piece and wide is easy but you'll also end up with no lip. I would suggest you consider a light 3-piece setup that will have a lip and look more appropriate for a 930.

On the lighter side of the spectrum I would consider something made by CCW or Fikse. Both manufacture their wheels in house, have excellent quality for their value, and are light.

I have examples of both CCW and Fikse and my 930 and I would highly recommend either. The CCW is a little less expensive but more finish options. The Fikse is a little lighter. Both are excellent options. Either will be custom made to your exact width/offset requirements.

wide rims

the car has just gone through mock up stage and now is at the body shop.. the kit was not what I thought it would be and needed a hell of a lot of work to get it right.. now just need a decent set of wheels to fill the fenders

On a side note, what method did you use to bond/fix the FG to the metal so it won't crack at the join?

I like'em wide too

Wide rims

Hi I remember following your build .. I wanted use the same rear bumper with the longer extensions but could not fit turbos behind it... I had a body shop fit mine with a 2 part fibreglass- metal joining compound this will not come apart it will tear the fibreglass first did plenty testing as I was a non believer as well

Try Zeforged, They made me 6 different sets of wheels for my car and friends. I had the same body kit 8 years ago running 10.5" in the front and 13.5 in the rear.
