I always thought that the perfect set of aftermaket wheels for a 4-lug 924 would be Revolution Wheels 5 Spokes. They even resemble the Fuchs a bit, and, if my memory serves me well, you can get them even in ET0.

It was posted on this forum in the past when others wanted advice on fitting the rear arches correctly. Generally accepted as the correct method to maintain body strength and give wheel clearance. Any problems?

thanks guys, yer just getting abit worried about how offset these wheels are and how its going to affect the handling thats all...

I saw your answer to the question about the hubs carrera rsr, dont think il be going for that idea, better to keep with the 4 stud im guessing??

thankyou for addressing the handling issue, im happy now as I have a 4x4 and spoke to some people about widening the wheels on that and its not a good idea so i thought it would be the same with the porsche, so thankyou for that!!

fancy coming over sometime to have a look at it RSR??

When putting the body kit on mine, I used the wheels off of my '82 928 and they seemed to fill the arches out pretty well. Granted, I also had some bigger Douglas tires on it that help fill them out a bit, too.

ohh ok yer i saw those they are ET 0 which is what I want but they are 5 stud so cant have those. I think this is the closest im going to get as they are 4 stud and ET 15 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290667709212&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNASIF:GB:1123

Still looking around so if anybody knows of any new or used 4x108 wheels with an ET of 15 or less give me a shout!! (in the UK)

cheers
