They are off a 996 GT3 but could be reps, look crap on a 944 IMO.

Hi , does anyone know the name of these alloys?

 

[944 man]

I have seen them on a red 944 Turbo and they looked quite smart. They hadnt just been bolted on though, they were spaced out (man) and the car was noticably lower at the rear. Id worry about bling after youve addressed the cars mechanical requirements.

I like these wheels especially on the red 944[]

Ride will be crap on 18" rims and will look way too modern for a 25 year old car... Edd

I like the look of them actually. Hows the car coming along Chris? have you made any trick bits yet? Jamo

Some of us like them!! although after 9 years I have changed them to 16"s the ride is soooo much better but I am not happy with the new look the 18"s looked far better and had that individuality about them. They are Sport Design replica's and are one piece. The only thing which I think would improve the look would be to drop it a bit.

I think you may be referring to "Appleton's" car - that was a lovely car!!

Yes, Nick had them on his red Turbo and they did suit it rather splendidly. I like them on Andys too []

 

[944 man]

I though tthat it was Nicks car, but I wasnt certain. Rear spacers and torsion bar adjustment are key to making them work aesthetically. Theyll never properly work as wheels though as theyre just too large in diameter. I have 17" wheels on mine, which it came with. Ive kept them even though I have refurbished 7.5" & 9" 16" wheels boxed in my garage, the tyre choice for 16" wheels is pretty poor now and the prices excessive.

I've tried various options on mine but finally I am really happy with the 17"...rides a little harder but more than acceptable and the look is much nicer[] just need to lower it a bit

Veloce do lots of Porsche compatible wheels. I think there are some like that.

As Nick's father,I have a little experience of the car-I actually took him over to Yorkshire to pick it up.Ultimately,I think he raised the suspension a little but it was low-however seemed to handle rather well particularly at Donnington-& yes I like the wheels-pity he sold it & his subsequent 964.
