I'm looking for a manufacturer of racing wheels that is reasonably priced and will do custom offsets...I want to stuff larger diameter and wider wheels under my fenders...
Anyone have good luck with a supplier? thanks, Bill |

Iff'n I was looking for some custom wheels, I'd look to:
Diamond Road Race Wheels for steelies or Lindsey Racing Fuchs for fuchs-based. If you have lots money, Wheel Enhancement has custom wheels by HRE, Fikse and Kinesis. If you're just looking for 17's, Revolution makes a wheel I like Revolution RZX that fits stock fendered 914's and can be ordered wider for flares. I think they look great. They may be a bit "ricer" for some: 914 with Revolution RZX wheels Gary |

I'm pretty sure those are 205's, which are the widest typically stuffable in stock fenders. The low profile makes them look wider.

Lindsey or Wheel Enhancement should be able to help in 17X10's.

I'm afeared that reasonable price and custom p-car wheels are mutually exclusive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Custom wheel prices are high. I'm looking for 17" or 18" to try. Wheel Enhancement suggests Fik$e, BB$ or Kine$i$. I found a company called Kodiak that has much more reasonable pricing...but I've never heard of them.
I'm still trying to figure a way to afford a larger diameter wheel set...but it may be cost prohibitive... JP...what have you found? Bill |

its a mystery to me Group: Members Posts: 1,827 Joined: 17-March 03 From: Marriottsville, MD Member No.: 434 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region |
You can do a search for Keizer wheels, they make a 3 piece wheel that can be any offset etc...
You can try looking at grassroots also....herb |

If you're looking for cheap...
Either a set of those immitation cup wheels or a set of AZEV's They're prolly on the heavy side (cast wheels) and are nothing to boast about with your racer friends, but I bet you can get a used set for about 400 to 500 bucks A plus is that they come in pre '90 911 offsets, so you don't need to mess about with spacers (as you would have to with most "stockish" wheels) cheers, Jeroen |
