Wheel role call!
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.

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. |

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!

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. Quote:
