Early Car Alloys

[bfunke]

Saw a car with these allow wheels recently. Owner told me he got them from Alex Bivens in Huntington Beach CA. They seem to be designed for the early 356s but sure would be great upgrade to the steelies. I think they look sweet. Not sure what sizes they come in and if the hubcaps of the early cars would fit. Any have any experience with these? Thoughts?

Ni9ce wheels, expensive. He will build to suit.....grab your ankles....

They look like standard chrome 'steelies' that were pretty common on late 356's and early 912's and 911's.

Who has an early 911 with steel wheels?

[bfunke]

Wow - $3K for 4. I think I'll keep my originals for a bit longer. I win the lottery...all bets are off!

why would anyone want to put a wheel on a Porsche that is not forged??

[Bob Kontak]

Not a fair question and rhetorical. Are cookie cutters forged?

Those wheels are beautiful and if driven on the street, very "fit for purpose".

They have been raced with pretty successfully . Even seen them on a 906 that regularly competes in vintage racing- looked way cool with the deep offsets. Obviously they are not light like forged rims, but pretty decent

Personally, I think that 3k, thou a lot of money, is not a excessive price to charge for these wheels, have you priced any new Porsche wheel lately. These wheels must be rather expensive to make. They are of high quality and there is a limited market for them, speaking for my self, I am happy that they are available.
