    Anyone have an idea of what wheels these are?

    Has anyone seen these before?

    Any idea on who makes them? or what they may be worth?

    Or Cyclone.

    I know I had a set on my CJ7 in ‘78.

    Made by Western? I had a set of those on my ‘71 Monte Carlo in high school way back when (which happened to be back in ‘78!) Thanks for the flashbacks!

    Is the bolt pattern correct/spacing correct for early 911?

    Western Cyclone was the version of that wheel. American Racing had a similar one.

    Bought my brand spankin new CJ7 in '77 ($6200 with the hardtop!); senior year of high school. Did the whole testosterone and chrome treatment on it then sold it a year later when I finished my 911 powered '69 VW Bus. Ahhhh... great memories.

    Yikes! Can't imagine those wheels on a Porsche.

    Great insight. Thank you all very much. They have the same bolt pattern as the 911/912. They came with a 912 as spares.

    Is that 255/50-15?

    For a 912?

    Younger brother must be a little fat.

    Yes. I believe that is correct in terms of tires size(great eye). They car did have turbo flares all around. Let me take some more pictures.

    I really appreciate the comments.

    American Racing Vectors - I have a pair of 15x10 I pulled from a flared car. Sadly, the fronts were missing. I'd be interested in the 4 if you were considering selling.
