Any idea what wheels these are?
My 1989 944 project came with these 18x8 inch wheels on it. I'm trying to figure out who made them. I would rather have some twist style wheels, so it would be nice to know about what these are worth.

These GT3 wheels are the closest I've found so far online, but they're definitely different.

From what I see on the Internet they are 996 997 wheels
Sorry don't know how to post links but do google search for 996 turbo rims and see what comes up. |

Well there is this
But obviously much different. I would suspect mine are aftermarket wheels...

They look like TSW. Looks like the Victor Equipment Le Mans. Maybe the Snetterton.
They are definitely aftermarket. As for their worth, I don't know. Check the back of the spokes for manufacturer. Take care, Last edited by FrenchToast; 08-10-2013 at 05:58 PM.. |

Aha, those look very likely. I haven't looked really closely, yet, to see if I could find the name of the manufacturer, though I did look. Might have to clean them. :P
Thanks.

Those are pretty cool wheels though! Not sure they suit a 944 very well however

They're not bad, but I would much prefer twists, D90's, or 928 dish wheels. Planning on the twists...they'll definitely fit with the yellow, black, and dark red paint scheme I have in mind.
I looked at the wheels again and couldn't find any names. Guess I'll have to take one off and look inside.

Wheels? Who needs wheels when you have four jack stands!
My baby's sick so I've told her to stay off her feet. Hopefully she'll feel better by this coming weekend.

I need some jack stands. And a couple big floor jacks would be nice.
In fact why don't someone just give me a shop with all the equipment and tools I could ever need? :P *wishfulthinkingdon'thelpthings*
