WTB: late 70's/early 80's style aftermarket Porsche wheels

Looking for some "period" 911/930 aftermarket wheels, such as

BBS
Gotti
Etoile
Ronal
Rial
Compomotive etc

(anything but Borbets...)

Prefer 15" diameter, but may consider 16's.

And I seriously have set of fat Borbets here...

Look for some Simmons in Commodore pattern, offset can be adjusted.

John - friends don't let friends drive on borbets. Ho did you come to have a set?

Chris - thanks for the reply. I forgot about Simmons but not really the style I'm after.

Michael's actually... was given them as a joke and then gave them to me to use whilst I was refurbishing my fuchs. For some reason he keeps avoiding me when I try to return them

You watch, the next generation of "Old Porsche" owners will be striving for the flat-nose Crocket and Tubbs era 911

I just picked up 7 rims of various Simmons v5 or Compomotive style equivalent.

The 9" and 11" x 15" I am going to refurbish and use on my widebody.

But the other 3 look to be 9" - two are a pair. I'll measure them for you including backspace.

Thanks for reply Tim, I'm not really after Simmons.

I'm also probably now going to go with 16's so:


UPDATE
Looking for some "period" 911/930 aftermarket 16" wheels, such as BBS Gotti Etoile Ronal Rial Compomotive etc (not Simmons, not Borbets...)
