Jason E Posted 8May, 2017 Report Share Posted 8May, 2017 I know this is probably pointless. I know they will be nigh on impossible to find but I thought I might throw it out there & see what might happen if I shake the trees a little. I am chasing some lighter forged wheels for my 1990 944 S2. I would love to find some of the wheels off the Turbo S. I've seen a few sets being alluded to in the UK & parts Europe but would prefer something local if possible. I have to decide whether I want to have my D90s refurbed or invest the cash in a better set of wheels. Who's got what? Who knows a guy that spoke to a bloke who reckons he overheard a mate talking about a fellow that has a set in his shed & needs the space to set up an organic craft beer micro brewery?

Buchanan Automotive Posted 8May, 2017 Report Share Posted 8May, 2017 Hi Jason , do not forget , the Fuchs 944 Turbo S front wheels are not the same ET as what's on a standard 944S2 , meaning the 944 Turbo S had completely different front stub axles ( spindles in USA speak )944S2 ( 99%) or a 968 ( Non M030 ) have front stub axles that require 55 mm ET (or at least close to that )944 Turbo S & 968CS with M030 have front stub axle that requires a ET of 65 mmSo that means the front wheels from a Turbo S onto a standard 944S2 would make the wheels sit in an extra 10mm , the standard 944S2 front wheels already look a bit too far in as compared to the front guards , the Turbo S wheels would be even worse by an extra 10mmI know what you are going to say next , but front spacers are not legal ( the rear is a different matter )RegardsBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchanan Automotive Posted 9May, 2017 Report Share Posted 9May, 2017 Here are some photos of the new genuine Fuchfelge ( Fuchs ) made in Germany 17" X 8 " & 17" x 9" Forged & anodised wheels we have been installing on our & customers Porsche's , be it 951 , 968 , 944S2 , these wheels are more suitable ( ET wise) with the standard 55mm ET stub axles that are more common on the 944S2 /968 ( non M030 ) and 951 ( 1987/1988 ) Non Turbo S We purchase them from RSR Garage in Victoria ( agent for Fuchs )The quality / strength & lightness is quite something RegardsBruce BuchananBuchanan Automotive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 16August, 2017 Report Share Posted 16August, 2017 Are they the cup 2 wheels? Where do you go to see all the P car wheels in one place?http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/porsche_alloy_wheelsThey don't quite look right, but resemble 993 Cup Design 93 wheels but the scalloping looks deeper (replicas or just bad pic?)

Buchanan Automotive Posted 17August, 2017 Report Share Posted 17August, 2017 You are correct JEP , they are the stock standard 993 16" dia wheels , the 16" dia ( not 15" dia ) phone dial 944 ( 1987-1988 ) option for the 944 , but standard for the 1987 & 1988 951( Non Turbo S) are quite rare , so these 16" dia ( standard 951 ) 1987 & 1988 951 wheels will fit you're 944S , just a bit hard to findNote } the 1986 944 & 951 had different stub axles ( ET ) to the 1987 > , so that means the the 1986 telephone wheels will not fit you're 944SThe more common 928S ( 1980 - 1985 ) 16" dia phone dial wheels are a bit more common , but the ET at 65mm are not compatible to a 944 / 951 that is Non Turbo S where the wheels need to be ET 55 , so that means these 16" dia 928 telephone wheels will not fit you're 944SRegardsBruce Buchanan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
