What kind of wheel is this??
I have a set that came with my track car. These are the street wheels. I was told by the PO that they were typical back in the day on 356s and early 911s, but he didn't know the manufacturer. TIA.

I've always liked black wheels. Very mean looking.

Those wheels are a must if you want to show off your big brake upgrade.

They are clearly just VW wheels, nothing exciting. Interesting though, they shouldnt fit. Are you sure you didnt buy a VW based 911 replica?

LMAO!
Why do I think I got more responses with no pic than I would have with a pic?? The initial post didn't seem to work so I was surprised to see it did-w/o the pic. I'll repost. |
