Boxster rims

I am in the market for rims for my 944, and the most affordable option seems to be boxster rims. Which ones will fit the best, and still be relatively affordable?

Boxster wheels will only fit your car with spacers as they are all the wrong offset for a 1986 944. You need wheels with ~23 offset, so nothing from a later Porsche will fit.

My 944 is a 1986 n/a, and my budget is around 800-1000 dollars

Where are you located?
86 7&8x16 951 wheels, powder coated white, like Cup wheels, direct bolt on.
7x17 aftermarket Cup 1s, 23mm offset, will also bolt right on.
7&8x16 MSW (BBS style wheels) again, 23mm et, direct bolt on.


8&10x16 Simmons wheels (from Australia) again, direct bolt on (the 944 pictured was a 85.5)

Would you be willing to possibly ship them?
And what would the prices be?

Fully understand, that is why I posted the pictures. Will get some of the MSWs.
These would look good on your 944.

Thanks,

They need a good cleaning since they are on the side of the shop.
Are complete, with caps.
