    Alloy wheels that look like Steelies?

    Does anybody know where to buy the alloy wheels that look like the original steel wheels? I've searched the web but no luck. Thanks in advance, Christian

    944 turbo spare wheels.

    This is an old thread but shows what you are looking for. I just saw a newer thread the other day. I thought it was here and called "Outlaw Wheels" but maybe it was on Pelican Parts.

    Christian,

    I'm not prescient, but I have a feeling you're looking for something like the wheel in the attached shot.

    Those used to be manufactured by Alex Bivens of West Coast Haus in Long Beach, but Alex passed away more than a year ago, and even though Wilhoit was a distributor of Bivens wheels ( John W. even has a set on his personal Pastel Blue 911 ) I don't know if anyone has taken over / continued production of these wheels.

    I would start by inquiring with John Wilhoit if they're still available.

    Good Luck,

    JZG

    I thought I saw an ad in the UK publication Classic 911, that offered these as custom wheels, made to order.

    Coddington has those. I've brought them to the Lit Show a few times.

    Alloy wheels

    I saw these on a 356 during our recent holiday in Stevenson, WA. Stunning to say the least.
