Title: 17" Porsche "twist" wheels and tires $450
Post by: rekka on April 06, 2013, 11:04:18 AM

I have had these wheels and tires from new. They were on my Bay in 1999. Here is a pic during an 1600km road trip to Edinburg Scotland for the Millenium Celebrations. It was pretty cutting edge back in the day. (Please excuse random family members.)

Here is the size and backspacing info, all are the same size rim, tires are 205/40 17 on the front and 215/45 on the back.

They fitted in there with wheel adapters to the stock brakes, but with the narrowed beams and 944 brakes will bet in there even easier (and lower).

Tires have about 80% left on them and have been protected from the sun as they have been unused for the 10 years I have lived in BC.

There are some shallow curbing marks and scratches on a couple, but nothing major. Straight and true.

TTT.

A good way to instantly modernize a street buggy too.

I can bring these to the swap, which means they can probably get back to the coast if you give someone enough beer.

Dangerboy, you must be a little interested to ask where these wheels are. I can put them on the greyhound if need be. Of you need more detailed pics, just ask.
