Pic request: RSR clones....
 

....WITHOUT 17" Fuchs. Sorry, Jack :D

Just kidding. Since no thread on Pelican with 'RSR' in the title should be void of BBII pics, these are the wheels Im NOT looking for.

So, what are the other affordable options? Fikse's? BBS? Lets see them! Please, no $9k sets of 15" RSR wheels either.

TIA and Happy New Year!

Hey Sherman, you need to check out CCWs stuff. They have some pretty good looking wheels that are quite respected in the club racer world and the prices are much better than big name brands. Should be able to get a set for $1800 or so....

Speaking of CCW wheels......

Snake, your car is going to be nice. I just love that color.

Mee too, I love that crazy green!

Thanks guys!

Bring on the pics of cars with expensive 15" fuchs and 17" two piece wheels. Lets see the wheels on your RSR clones.

IMHO, Wheels and stance make the car. I don't think this is an area to skimp, especially on an RSR clone. My 3pc fuchs (9,11x17)were almost $1k cheaper than the "affordable Fiske's"!

ok, lets see the 3 piece wheels also :)

973 Porsche 911S Vin# 9113300870
This car is a true factory S and one of the most valuable early Porsche.
The milage shows 40250 and we will try to get more history on this car.

Perfect if you like vintage racing and also drive this car on the street.


Body is absolut rustfree and has the following features:
Like true RSR's, all composite fenders, doors, hood, engine lid with tail, front and rear bumpers.

Another RS clone based on 1973 911T, all steel

More pictures and description coming soon.

thanks, harold

Wouldn't that be an RS clone? (the first one that is)

You are correct sir!

Harold - did you upload the correct picture to go with your first post ?

There are a number of 'discrepancies' in your description of the car:

Quote:

Like true RSR's, all composite fenders, doors, hood, engine lid with tail, front and rear bumpers.

Original '73 RSR's used steel fenders/hood/doors - & the car shown does not have RSR-style fenders...

Quote:

correct leather Sport seats

Original '73 RSR's used lightweight fixed grp bucket seats (usually Recaros)

Quote:

Correct 9inch front wheels and 11inch rear wheels

The car shown does not have 9 & 11 in wheels... (looks more like7 & 8 or 7 & 9 in)

Quote:

205-55-16, 245-45-16

Original '73 RSR's used 15 in diameter Fuchs wheels - not 16 in

etc, etc

However it does look a nice car.

Harold doesn't want to confuse us with the facts. Best to stick with hyperbole, eh? ;)

Not anymore since it doesn't have its original engine and has modified body parts. However, it looks like a fun car that's worth low $20k's if rust free and mechanically sound.

No, it resembles an RS Touring and it performs like an early car with a 3.2L. 300HP? I suspect it's measured, as Wayne D. said before, "at the STEERING WHEEL."

And what's with the harness bar / harnesses without a rollbar? Apparently in lieu of DOT seatbelts, too.

Finally, aren't those the infamous e-bay sport seats?

Harold, please at least make SOME EFFORT to learn a little about Porsche's, will you?

The first RS clone is a nice looking car. I hate to nitpick, but I wish the 936 silver metallic engine bay had been sprayed white with the rest of the car.

This is not working well.

Screw it! Forget the original request and just post pics of any cool car you can find

Whoa there big guy...you sure you wanna open those flood gates? lol :p

Sherman - IMHO the wide (& expensive) Fuchs are a vital part of the RSR look.

You could always save some (substantial) money by going with some widened Fuchs...

I absolutely agree. The 15s look the best, but Ive read that the tires are not so good. Is the 16" tire selection any better?

Andy, what are my options with the widened fuchs? Any examples? Any advice on getting a set made or finding tires for them?

TIA

"The selling price of $ 38,950.- reflects the fact that this car was built from a true 911S and not the much lesser 911T, never had any rust problems and does not need anything but driving."

:) When people pay more for an S that is modified than they pay for a T isn't it because they want the S VIN & intend to restore it back to its original, valuable state? Why would an S-based fibreglass RS 'clone' with 3.2 be worth more than a T-based fibreglass RS 'clone' with 3.2?

So the tire availability SUCKS for both 15's and 16's. Basically none for 15's and only a couple of comp tires for the 16's.

These are the rims I bought for my RSR originally: 9x16 11x16

These are the forglines I just bought... 9.5x17, 11.5X17 with proper RSR backsets, the car in the back is not mine. It is the sellers:
