    hey thanks for the link been looking on there for two years and with no luck, im thinking my best bet is a porsche forum since these will only fit the 911 series and late 356 cars. im hopeing someone has one buried in there shed and wants to sell it.

    Try the 356 or 912 registry sites' classifieds sections, also. You never know what someone might have stashed away...

    Be very careful using these wheels. They are known to have a poor design where the spokes meet the rim causing a stress riser that commonly cracks. This happens on light VW's, so on a much heavier Porsche I would be very hesitant to use them.

    i have heard of this from my vw days, I have an idea to use them on a late 356 outlaw project i may due in the near future. Im sure theres only three from this set due to one had cracked. regardless i still would like to have 4 even if it where to just roll around town from time to time.

    My 912 had those wheels on when I bought it but I can't remember now if I kept them when we moved. I'll check the barn this evening and let you know. I only had 3 also.

    interesting you mention a 912 and that your sig shows it as a 65, as these where on a 1965 912 that a friend has and that i once had some years back.

    ill take all three if you have them.
