I own a 1979 924 and have been looking the past few days on finding where I can get the rims on this Carrera or atleast something similar.

I just bought the 924 about two days ago so I haven't really got into much yet at all. I have 15" wheels/rims on the car, so that is the size I'd be looking at.

The wheels on that picture is 16" Fuchs. The CGT came with 15" or 16" as an option. The 16" will fit your car and will look very, very good.

The problem is the price on theese wheels....

Oops...! I presumed you had a turbo..!

If you have a NA, you have the 4x100 bolt pattern, and they will not fit!
Original Fuchs were only produced with the standard Porsche 5x130 bolt pattern.

You can buy a 924 parts car for the price of one Fuchs wheel. If it is a rare offset and width Fuchs, you could buy a very, very nice 924 for the same price. The other guys above are correct as well, you need the 5-bolt wheel setup before going to these rims.

Are there any wheels like this that would fit the 924?

Maybe some coockie cutters? Not sure if you can get them with your bolt pattern... They look a tiny, tiny, tiny bit like the fuchs wheels from a distance!

What about snow tires? It's not going to be too long before the streets turn white. I'd need to get ahold of some soon! If it helps I can post some pictures of my tires and wheels. Once I get home I'll measure them and post some images.

I'm going with these I think - they are similar, and custom fit.

What would be some rather cheap rims, but yet good ones that would look good in a Fire Red?

In my opinion, the only wheels that look good in body color are the BBS deep dished basket weave (NOT the stock 924 basket weaves).

I have a set of perfect 6 and 7s Fuch with brand new track tires that I have not used. I don't like the PCA club here in Fl. I went to Homestead, Moroso, Daytona and Sebring. Sebring is the best.
Most of the club members sneer at anything that is not 911. I really don't care. I just did not have the desire to drive on these tracks yet. Main reason was I did not register the car although I have this week.
