    Post help identifying wheels

    Need the help of the wheel experts.

    Bought these on a whim from a 356 friend... he said they were meant for an early 911... look like torq thrusts to me, but I know there are so many versions? These are two piece wheels. Does anyone know what they are?

    I was too anxious to buy them... not realizing that the tires are completely the wrong size for a longhood....

    Interesting wheels. Correct off-set for early 911?

    These were originally for 356+VWs. A very long time ago I briefly had a set on a '54 Speedster. Note the extra meat for the early bolt pattern.

    Need a spare?

    I have one but it looks like it uses different nuts.

    An interesting wheel. Good luck with putting a set of 4 together.
