I'm just glad you are referring to it as a wheel instead of a "rim."

Rims to me are the old school thingies with hubcaps.

Do you have the wheels and are wondering what brand tbey are, or are you looking to buy? My wheels look simular, the center is different.

Those look great. I realized that the wheels are a minimum 8-9hr round trip. Not worth it. I’ll keep looking. I really like this style though. Where did you get those if you don’t mind me asking?

If those are in fact 949’s they’re pretty expensive 3 piece wheels so if the price is right you may want to reconsider. My original set cost $4K. I still have a extra set of rears with tires mounted. Sold mine years ago for $2500

I bet keeping the areas around those fake rivets is fun

Yeah I’ll bet these aren’t easy to clean. But they sure do look good. And the person doesn’t know what brand they are. They came with the car when he bought it.

If they’re 946 they have 90* valves mounted in the barrels running to the front. TPM sensors are belly banded inside.

Not 946. The valve would be mounted inside the barrel extending to the hole you see open.

Ok thanks. I wasn’t sure. Not sure about the 8-9hr round trip for these.

Go to any site that sells wheels and you’ll never see them referred to as rims. Rims is a slang term for wheels.

Hubcaps went on wheels as well, not rims. A rim by definition is the outer edge of something circular.
