Popular Post Snoozin Posted January 7, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm probably going to onsell the 16's, because I don't really know why I even bought them. Anywhoo. The others. I found these on Yahoo a week before I actually picked up the car, and at that stage decided I absolutely HAD to own them. Owing to the cavernous dimensions of the arches, you can fit a fair whack of wheel and tyre under a 944. Now Porsche's, for all intents and purposes come in 2 different offsets dependant on age. Early and late (well, duuhhh). Being an '87 model (post ABS) this car features the late offset, so basically anything post 1989 fitted to a 911 or Boxtser or otherwise was going to be within cooee. Since there is a large population of Porsche in Japan, and Japan makes the raddest wheels Yahoo offered the best selection. So I bought this set of Work Meister S1, for an absolute steal. Sizing is 18x8.5 et41 front and 18x10 et45 rear. The gold is going, there is some corrosion beneath the (non factory) paint, I plan to have these sprayed a champagne sorta colour, maybe with a touch of flake for that sunny day pop. Naturally I was wetting my strides with excitement so I applied timber and tried them on for size.

IMG_7067 by SnoozinRichy, on Flickr IMG_7069 by SnoozinRichy, on Flickr I reckon the above is going to be the moneyshot angle once these are on and the appropriate ride height is settled. IMG_7073 by SnoozinRichy, on Flickr You can fit an SSR Mk3 13x7" wheel inside an 18x10 inch Work Meister S1, just in case you are wondering. 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Lush. What does it look like on the 964 wheels? No idea, as it turns out they won't fit due to the way the 944 hub center sticks out a bit too much. A 5mm spacer would solve it. Thanks though folks. I am rapt it's sorta coming together as visualised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Added a 951/S2 rear valance spoiler thing the week before Christmas, quite nerve wracking measuring 5 times then finally drilling holes in the sheetmetal. Drove it 1500km. Comfy and economical. Just curious..how economical? How many mpg because a friend in the uk had one and found it thirsty. It was an earlier 944 so things might have changed.
