These were standard on '87 turbos. Very common.

OZGreg,

I would guess in Australia they are very uncommon, the late offset phone dials were standard on the 87 944 turbo, and it looks like they were not imported to Australia in 87, and then in very imported in limited number for the 88 model year when they were the optional wheel.

Outside of Australia they are common for 951 wheels, but with total world product of roughly 9,000 cars over those two years, and other option wheels available, I would guess that there less than 7,000 total sets of late offset 951 wheels produced.

Weren't there also some fancy forged units on those? 8 & 9, IIRC?

Yes I believe they were magnesium mostly use on the 944 Turbo Cup cars.( Very expensive)

Ta guys,

I have just bought an 87 S, for a race/rally car and a set of 16" phone dials would look great. Especially in white on an Arrow blue car

928s have the wrong offset as well, yes?
