Lindsey Wheels for my 911--Need Help

I am thinking of purchasing wheels from Lindsey Racing Products and would like some feed back as to their quality of product and how they stand up under daily use. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Don't have a set, but all I hear on this board are superlatives and praise from owners. Search "Lindsey".

The only trouble with doing that is you will hardly find any posts and they never have any pictures!

I just got a set of 9.5x17 and 11x17. The quality is very good especially the welding.

You can't go wrong! And they take the abuse on the track, and they look great, and they are lighter than stock Fuchs, and they are cheap compared to alternatives.... I love them.

I have a set in RSR finish on my FAct Turbo -Look. Very nicely done, and I like them much better than any alternative for a larger wheel size on a 911.
Mike et al are good folks to deal with as well

Another satisfied Lindsey customer here. Just be patient with delivery times since they are usually made to order. Mine took a month as promised.

James - Scruffy looks awesome. What color is that? As for the wheels, I forget: what size are they? Which finish do they have?

Scruffy,

how the hell did you get a 10 inch wide rear rim to fit on a narrow body car?.

James,
Just curious. Lindsey's website didn't specify, but how much more is the anodized RSR finish on your wheels?

Thanks,
Sherwood

not sure, recommend you get the wheels and send them to be done, call Dave at TRE, he can help you.
