assuming good condition, that price is good with tires (assuming they are quality).

Design 90's have been done and look great. i don't recall who did it though.

[madpballer232]

im just trying to figue out any possible issues before they happen. does anybody know the offset and other specs possibly? i was just gonna run adapters untill i get my 944 brakes in order. i have 1 inch wider fenders all the way around with flares. i hope thats big enough. does anybody else know anything about these wheels

[madpballer232]

ya that does look good. do you think they will fit with 1 inch adapters that i have. they are stock brakes for now, but i also have 1 inch wider flared fenders?. im trying to make this easy on me cause i really need to get it on the road.

thanx carson

[LOAF]

Nice..

Are you using Kersher struts and SB spindles up front..
How about rear, stock IRS?

Hi guy's,
Can someone tell me what is the weigh of the porsche 17 inch cup2 or turbo twist with tires on them.

[madpballer232]

wow bad bug what does that have to do with anything. i could possibly see that apply if you were asking how much a design 90 ad a tire weighs but not a turbo twist or cupII.

[dirk.Gysbrechts]

@LOAF ; I have Remmele struts, spindles are stock, rear is IRS.....

but on this moment i have already new Rims.....

8 x 18 Techart

[Bad bug]

Madpballer232 i just wanted to know what's the weigh as i don't want too much of a heavy rim on my car.

[LOAF]

Techart.. NICE.. very NICE..

:) very jealous..

Does these wheels fit without doing anything to the struts and rear IRS supspension? I have a 73 1303 with the 3-bolt strut. Will I have to change this, and modify the rear by grinding suspension stop and changing the forward bolt on the spring plate?

Design 90`s, 6x16 and 8x16 ET 52.

Anyone? I`m about to buy some and would really like to know this first

Not sure on the 1303 but you could call Jon at topline and ask him, or check VDub Engineerings wheel fitment section.
And this is a pretty good wheel calculator
