Re: ebay typo wheels
they start at 80 quid, they are misspelled, often no one bids on them becuase they cant find them when they do an ebay search !!!!!!!

Re: ebay typo wheels
Use fatfingers.com that finds the misspelled ones!
Quite common to find Porsche spelt wrong & I have a lovely brand new Jaguar book bought cheaply because someone couldn't copy Jaguar from the cover.

Re: ebay typo wheels
Still available at £80 I am sorely tempted even if I just re-advertised them.

Re: ebay typo wheels
No as much as I would like to, I prefer my Cup1s and can not convince my Wife to let me bid and then travel to collect just to turn a profit, she has too many other things lined up for me to do rather than take a day out to collect the wheels.
So go for it looks like a bargain although the fronts look too narrow with 205 tyres on unless they have been stretched, so I would think the fronts will only be 6J rather than 7 so look really odd with 255 rears. I currently run 255 rear and 225 fronts and I like the balanced look.

Re: ebay typo wheels
Thats interesting because I have no great knowledge with these wheels and have made a mistake re sizes before, Im on alearning curve here.
If the fronts are 6" then they may be no good on a 944 Turbo as the other ones i bought similar were gorgous but on aturbo the front brakes snag. They were ideal for any other 944 I believe and defo a lux or an 's'. I havnt seen the problem with 7" fronts ?
I am not loking to resell I genuinely need some wheels that will fot my 944 Turbo.
If they are 6" fronts I wouldnt want them. I asked a question and the seller kindly gave the part number today but a I type I see someone has bid on them already over 150 pounds.
looke like I'll be giving it a miss too now
Cheers Mas

Re: ebay typo wheels
Still cheap at £155 but looking at the bid war going on they are going to end up expensive and in my opinion those twists do not look that good on a 944. Keep telling yourself that and it will make the pain go away.
