What are these wheels?
What are they; new or old? Different looking, at least for a 911. Look like modern 'salt flat' wheels.

Different. Not as nice as Torque Thrusts.
I just want to know who made them. They look like the A/R "Salt Flat" wheels (Hildebrandt inspired), but they don't normally come in a size to fit the Porsches. ![]() Last edited by Cornerlot; 03-28-2017 at 11:08 AM.. |

Those are bad replicas of Kidney bean wheels. Look up PS Engineering for correct kidney bean and even Trans Am TQ Thrust style wheels. They even have the correct open end lug nuts. Phil Schmidt used to own Co but I believe it has changed hands. I did business with Phil several times and his wheel look just like they did back then. I think the have a website still.
There is also a Co that makes them in magnesium they list them ob EBAY all the time I can't think of their name. |

Im pretty sure those wheels are Mooneyes of Japan Speedmaster wheels in the Mag Grey finish. the center cap will say Speed Master on them if they are. The Speed Masters are a pretty decently made in Japan wheel. It's just down to a matter of personal taste.

I think they are fine looking wheels, just not a Porsche for me.
