Picked up this set of16x 8s for the rear and 16x7s for the front....what I have on the car now is 16x7s in the rear and 16x6s in the front... always
wished for a set of 8s for the rear. They havent been chromed either...just painted. Bead blast look with no polish will look good.

They look a little strange, kinda square on the pedals. You sure they aren't repros?

Do they have 911 part numbers or 951 part numbers?

Thats a fine eye u have Nein.. yes the ones on the car have numbers.
These are just an old set of replica racing wheels, replica wheels for a replica car what could be more complete. I barely paid scratch for them,
along with 2 wurs and 2 sets of hatch schocks.

Debating on rim clear, chip guard ( with a flatt finish not gloss ...deglosser). Dont really want to paint the centers
any color not black .. was debating the red.. its
best i rim clear them first.

There nice for being repos! First thought was
the standard centers would not fit so I thought of my choices over grinding on the center of the rim. They will need a little relieving.
The fit is really tight. Ill go the route of the original intended not the
spider web inserts. Extre spacers in the rear to push the 8s out even
closer to the flair.
