Some of you know I have been searching for the past three years to find a wheel that I feel would look good on my car. I've tried a number of dealers, but no one has been able to supply an off the shelf wheel to meet the specifications need. It's almost impossible to find a six inch wide wheel these days, in the diameter I wanted, for the front of the car.
I tried custom made wheels at shops in England, the U.S., and in Canada that were either too expensive, too dodgy, or just too far away for me to feel comfortable measuring the dimensions myself, and then hoping the wheels would arrive and would fit.
Finally, a couple of weeks ago, at a semi-Porsche gathering (other interesting cars are allowed, and appreciated), a fellow mentioned there was a wheel maker just a few miles from where I live.
So, after a visit, with detailed measurements taken, I am getting the wheels I have wanted since I commissioned the car. And I am not ashamed to say they are an exact copy of the wheels on the car, of which mine is a very close copy. Imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery, so I don't feel like a copy cat at all.
So, here are the drawings of the wheels, and in about six weeks, they will be on my car. They are forged aluminum, 17" diameter, with 15" centers, and double step lips, and will be powder coated silver. With the correct size tires, they won't look too big for the car.
