Porsche style wheels in 4x108?

Gaz · 07-04-09, 11:20 PM

Do they exist?

Wondered what Porsche alloys would look like on my cq? Can they be found in 4x108? or perhaps some recreations?

I was thinking something on the lines of these?

What do u think?

to be honest Gaz... these wheels are far too modern for the age of car you want to put them on, even IF you could get wheels to fit, it wouldnt "look right"
sorry just my opinion

u maybe right.. i think a photo shop would be a good idea perhaps.

i was also thinking about the ones that don't have quite such an angle to the spokes. if u know what i mean.

But as for being 'modern', the 911 isn't exactly a 'modern' car in terms of design.. Its still pretty much a lower, longer, flatter, sleeker... BEETLE.!

lol

perhaps?

Or maybe?

tough call with modern rims on the CQ. Some work, some don't.

You'd need adaptors to run Porsche pattern rims in the CQ which will cost you anywhere up to another £200, or you could get yours hubs redrilled, but that kinda weakens the hubs somewhat.
Porka pattern is 5 x 130.

they are simply too Porsche and too modern for me.

Personally I would look for a good period alloy from ATS, Borbet, Ronal, BBS. I'm sure there are more makes to add.

Have a search on ebay and see what comes up.

The non-turbo 924 was the only Porsche that ran 4x108 wheels, and there were two styles available - the 14" eight spokes as fitted to Coxy's Coupe, and also a 15" BBS style cross-spoke design.

Yep, right on.

To me 15" Ronal R8 is perfect. BBS have plenty of styles that look good too.

I'm really at a loss as to what wheels to get.

What do u think?
