Wheel role call!

[Pillow]

I just wanted to check how many of you end up with WAY too many wheels hanging around the house?

Right now Porsche I have:
6 - 6x16 ET53 Dish wheels from 924 Turbo
2 - 7x16 ET53 Phone Dials
5 - 7x15 ET53 Phone Dials
5 - 7x16 ET? Dish wheels from a 928
1 - 6x16 ET53 Design 90 from a C2

Misc:
1 - 8x15 old Chevy Mangels AL wheel. Retro cool but worthless
4 - 6x15 ET45 VW Eurovan Stealies
25ish - Chevy stock stealies from various trucks and cars (mostly for farm wagons - long story)
5 - Ford Model A wire mesh wheels - so cool (but useless to me)

Most of these are stored in barns so no clutter in the house kind of deal. But still sick.

[petevw]

I have a few too:

2-15x4 VW steelies/tires
2-15x4.5 VW steelies/tires
2-15x7 Fuch repo's -->sold
2-15x8 Fuch repo's/tires -->sold
4-15x5 Audi(old) BBS's

Depending on season could have either the winter/summer tires/rims for the families cars. So since it's summer the winters are sitting:

4-15x5 Volvo steels/tires
4-16x7 Audi alloys/tires
4-15x5 VW steels/tires
4-14x5 VW steels/tires

Built a small extension on the back of the garage for this stuff.

[LLVWGL]

i didn't think i had anyhting to add, but when i thought about it, i have a few sets too!
4 - 15x5.5 empi 8 spoke - Completely black
2 - 14x5.5 minilite in 4x130mm
2 - 14x7 minilite in 4x130
2 - 17x7 porsche cup II
2 - 17x9 porsche cup II

forgot one!, thanks mikey for reminding me.
1 - 944 verdstein? aluminum spacesaver spare (N.O.S.)

[Mikey]

WOW guys. I only have 2 extra wheels:
1 - 19x10 Turbo twist, can't remember the offset.
1 - 944 steel calapsable spare

[oasis]

I have five stock steel wheels with virtually brand new tires on each from my '71 Super prior to conversion.

I have a junk yard 15-inch steel from a Golf IV (5x100) or similar. It has a stock spare tire on it which does not fit into the wheel well of my Super. I currently drive about with a doughnut spare although I may consider going back to a full spare once I have the battery move sorted out.

Keeping those company are two 205/55-16 tires that were taken off my front wheels after the conversion. They were replaced by 195/50-16 tires to avoid fender fouling.

It isn't much but being garage-less, they sure take up an inordinate amount of space in the shed. I wouldn't mind finding someone who could use the stock stuff.

[Pillow]

Oasis - what is the story on the 205/55/16s? I need a set for my fronts. :) Are you headed to the Bug Out in Manassas over Memorial weekend?

I am happy to see I am not the only one with way too many wheels! :D

The tires are virtually new as I recall. I would sell them quite reasonably as it may be a month of Sundays before I would need them as replacements.

I have always wanted to go to one of the BugOuts but something queer always seems to get in the way. I am planning to go yet again.

If you needed them sooner than that we could rendezvous at some halfway point as we are just 1 hr. 37 min. (87 mi.) from each other ... or I could bring them to the show.

I am happy to see I am not the only one with way too many wheels! :D
Happier than my wife I would guess. :rolleyes:

[volkdent]

I need to add 2 18x8 ET52 Cup II knock offs to the list! Just got them off Ebay, I hope they aren't bent. I'm asking the guy to spin them before I pay, I don't know if that is fair. I'll use these on the back with 245/40s I think with the 17s up front.

Jason

[Pillow]

[yetibone]

Some are still in service, like the Passat, Toyota, 5 TR6 wheels, The two inflate-a-dates, all the motorcycle wheels, and the Porsche alloys.

See anything you need? :laugh:

[Mikey]

I was looking at the 986's and an inflate a date. Just kinda fishing a little for my daily driver. I have a pair of stock Ghia disk and calipers I'd like to use on it, but the disk drilled to Porsche pattern. Left overs from my Ghia. I think that's good enough reason to upgrade the brakes and wheels. :laugh: I was originaly looking for a set of Phone dials or something, my criteria is straight and CHEAP.

In use? I didn't mention my Ghia's wheels...

4- 17x7" Cup 2's

Sweet! I'm a Germanlook guy, but I love vintage too. I'm helping to restore a '47 split right now. :D

We have a nice '53 Zwitter I'd love to Germanlook, but this guy has 4 splits and 3 ovals. I doubt he'll sell it, even to me.

Sweet Pillow, those look cool.

I just picked up a Porsche 944 Alloy inflate-a-date on ebay last night. :D I'd like to get 4 to put on my daily driver. But they're expensive, unless you find them right. I paid $53 plus shipping about $17.
