Porsche Disc Wheel

[Fixer]

I have been thinking about the disc wheel and what could be done with it with a little milling. It would seem there are a lot of surface milling possibilities to give it more dimension and not compromise it's strength. Just woke up thinking this, not sure why as i sold mine long ago.

You must have been dreaming about rostyle wheels - ok on a period 914 maybe ---

Niel,

I have those on my MGB, similar to what was on the old 914 2.0...

Now that i've been to work and look again i agree.
Sketch looked better than the scan.
I had no idea that this has been done already to these wheels.

Niel,

My MGB is a 74.5...stupid rubber bumpers but the dual carbs, no cat, California legal but now beyond somg requirements...all original including a hard top. Eventual resto if the wife wants...her toy.

My toys are the SHARKS: Porsche 928 and the Coupe (3.0csi euro I brought over from Deutschland).

I remember those being overheat monsters. Same with my first car the Triumph TR7.

Decent price for a set. Could probably get them for $200 or lower

^ I can't stand when someone is selling something (like 4 wheels)
and shows only a small part of one.

Thanks Leo, but i was more curious if anyone had any good design ideas.

If you read the original post..

I wasn't all that interested in doing it myself or figuring it out,
(I used to be an Industrial Designer) it was an attempt to start a
conversation about this wheel and what could be done on a milling machine.


I was kind of surprised by the reaction by some here.

Comments here on your topic seem pretty mild, are you sure your not confusing us with the "other" forum? Also, you stated that you were wondering why you sold yours, so I posted an option to buy them back. Well sorta.
