I ran into this issue today,
the wheels were actually seated on the studs and not mounted to the spacer surface this resulted in a wheel that would wobble

Good point. When I put my rear spacers on at first I thought it would not work, but then I saw the bolt heads would fit into the recessed area between the studs. This is on my stock Porsche wheels which I actually like.

Funny how things change, now cars all have the brakes exposed, before wheels all covered, hubcaps, white walls or white lettering. Of course years ago people dressed up in public, now its baggy pants 4 sizes too big so pants all bunched up over shoes, butt crack showing and baseball hat on backwards, or sideways!

Thanks to all who've backed this project so far... we're off to a great start!

I've added new rewards for FANS of the Phone Dial wheel. Take a look to see if the new gear interests you.

Also, I've commented on the project here, asking for feedback from those considering purchasing a wheelset.

Bump for today's 30 year anniversary of the Risky Business movie (August 5, 1983).

Joel (Tom Cruise), the "U-boat commander"; Rebecca De Mornay as the, uhm, working girl; Ray-Ban sunglasses; Bob Seger's Old Time Rock 'n Roll; and, of course, a 928 with the classic Phone Dials!

[Carlos_H]

Bump for the last day!

It's a race to the finish line for Project 18" Phone Dial on Kickstarter!

<7 hours left to go and <$2500 left to raise to make this project successful!

Every bit helps, folks - be a part of team Project Phone Dial and get a cool reward!

Thank you to everyone that has contributed so far!

[Carlos_H]

I am happy to announce that, thanks to all the contributors and word-spreaders, Project 18" Phone Dial made it's Kickstarter goal!!!!

The Project Phone Dial team can now perform the SAE wheel testing, which requires us to have some wheels manufactured for that abuse.

We have heard from our North American wheel manufacturer and they are ready to start the tooling and programming for the 18" Phone Dial wheels!

Onward to the next phase, and thank you to everyone that helped spread the word or contributed!

Yay!

Awesome! Holding my breath on the price. Please don't let them cost more than my car did. Would be a shame if, after all this effort, no-one could afford them.
