Wheels for a roller?

I'm looking for a set of wheels to use on my 911 when I'm having it's real wheels worked on. I'm thinking:

-cheap
-readily available
-16" diameters

Any ideas?


Thanks-
Craig Backer

wheels

I will have a set of D90's soon. 6x16 and 8x16. A picture shows them on my 83 below. I am putting Fuchs back on. These wheels ar in VG condition. Make me a reasonable offer if you like them.

I am in West Tennessee, betwen Memphis and Nashville.

Thanks but what I'm trying to figure out is what other Porsches have wheels that will fit on a 911 - P-cars that have undesireable wheels.

Are there other makes of cars with the same bolt pattern as a 911 that are cheap and will fit?

as far as i know porsche is the only one to use 5x130 bolt pattern.

actually the "sprinter" vans made by dodge and benz among others have this pattern, the vw Touareg.

check out this site i found when researching the answer to your question.

finally after a month of searching, i have found cheap wheels!!!!!!

When my car was being painted I used 4 spares (space savers). Very light, narrow, cheap, and easy to roll around.

I wonder if this would work for lowered cars with low front spoilers.
