Wheels for early 911 with turbo body

[mmasse]

I am currently running Turbo Twist wheels with spacers (1" front, 2"rear) on my early 911 with Turbo Body conversion

I would like to buy a set of wheels that do not require spacers, since many DE and track event do not allow them. My car has a 964 turbo body kit so the Lindsey Fuchs will look strange on it.

I understand that one option is three pieces wheel, but I have no clue where to source the parts for them.

Could anybody help in identifying my options for my setup? Of course, lower $$ is better

THANKS

When you mention spacers, do you mean adapters. Adapters bolt to original wheel studs, and then have their own studs imbeded in the spacer. The real and safest solution is to use longer wheel studs with the slip on spacers. Not sure, but I think this solution is acceptable for competition.

I have spacers in the rear with the long studs, but adapters on the front. I still have not installed the long studs on the front hubs

What about 3 pieces rims? where can I source the parts from?

Bill, I donīt like very much the Fuchs centers for my setup it looks kind of awkwared on my 964 turbo body look.

thanks

For 3-piece Fuchs wheels, do a search for Jae Lee at Mirage International in the San Diego area. Okay:

but since you don't like Fuchs wheels, then you have the rest of the wheel industry to choose from - about 220K hits:

Except for the low cost, you may want to look at Fikse or BBS.

I have two sets of Fikses I bought used. Keep the antennas up, and you'll come across a set before long.
