Type of wheels?

I have read that these wheels are 15" Porsche wheels. Does anyone know what they are called and where they can be found.
Tired to add photo, but was not able to, so here is the link to the Rothmans Rally Tribute car.

Thanks

My guess is that they are Braid.

BRAID USA

The Braid wheels are close, but no cigar. If I can't find the one on the tribute car, then I might use one of the Braid wheels.

Thank you for the info. I found another small article on the car build and it says " 1989 911/964. Tires- Michelin ZEL 70’s 16/65-15 mounted on authentic Porsche rims.

One would think that the web would have more information the wheels, but I haven't found anything yet.

They look like they might be space saver wheels.

Sorry thought you were trying to be funny...


It's sort of an anti-fashion thing going on around here with young Asian guys. They all drive around with space saver wheels on.

I think we have a winner. This wheel looks just like the one in the picture and the description says a 15" "Porsche" wheel, which makes sense as a space saver. Also, there is a picture from a rear side view of the tribute car that shows the tires are very narrow.

Thanks for the help.
