Please look at my wheels and tell me how to figure out the right ones

Here's my deal, I would like to get the right wheels on this vehicle. If you notice from my image, the wheels on this one are weird, like maybe they came off of a 924 or something?

Anybody know what the real size is? I would like to find some cool rims that will fit on this so I could get some nice calipers and make it look sharp.

If anybody knows where I could start I would appreciate it.

All the best!

Jesse

You have late offset wheels on your early offset car. They will fit fine but you need to fit about a 1in spacer. Somewhere on those wheels you will see a number around 50 like ET50, if you don't want to fit spacers look for wheels with ET23.

Yep, you can change over to the late offset suspension pieces, which will allow you to run other Porsche wheels if you choose and would be slightly safer than spacers.
