Good wheels!

Forged 16"s that came on seom years of 931s, some early 928s, and I think one year on the 944S2(?).

I have a set from a 931 (16x6) and they have a 52.3mm offset which makes them an easy drop in for a Beetle.

C2 is short for carrera 2. The wheels above are form a 928 S4. I don't think they came on any other cars..

I have these on my Golf 1 cabrio in polished..

Anyway, plenty for sale on ebay!

I've got a set of 7J rims on my panel van, they look great. Was thinking about switching them to my bug and painting them black for a nice hardcore look. They seemed pretty heavy compared to 16" Fuchs, vdubjim could you weigh one so we know how they compare to others? I've weighed a 16x7J 928 teledial and that was 19lbs I think.

86-87 944 Turbos I believe. It had 7J with 52.3mm offset up front (only the 944 Turbo had this wheel, 928 7J rims are 65mm offset) and 8J with 52.3mm offset out back (same as the 8Js on teh 928)
