RUF style wheels

wrx paul · 07-20-2009, 11:55 AM

Anyone know where I can get a set of 17" or 18" of those RUF style wheels where the spokes are flush with the bead on the rim? I love those style and the best I can find so far are some knockoffs on ebay for about 1k but they only have them in 19" and they would look silly even if I could get 19's on a 964

You might want to ask if they actually have any in stock in Dallas, because Ruf GmbH no longer list the 17" Classics on the German web site. For quite some time now.

And that's after they just re-manufactured a run a couple of years ago - before that they were unavailable for ever.

I have a set of 18" brand new in the boxes, what car would you like to mount them on? BTW they are $3000 to your door plus paypal. Thanks.

Thanks! I might take you up on that if my quest for cheap fake ones fails. They are so expensive for such a heavy wheel. Usually pricey = light but I guess not in this case.

Cheap fake ones "ain't gonna happen".

AFAIK, noone has made a replica of this wheel.

I've found these but they are only available in 19"

The offsets are wrong for a 74-89 911 with torsion bars. You would need to run adapters/spacers with these. They look pretty good, however.

They should fit your 91 just fine.

Sticking 18"s on a 964 needs a brace, stuffing 19"s in there might be more trouble than it's worth. I'm really hoping to find some 18"s

Why would you need a brace? the 964 is one of the best chassis ever produced. BTW in this case pricey= strenght and quality that is unsurpassed as far as wheels go.
