Arrow Nice wheels HURRY 44 mins left

talked to the owner, he says theyre off a late 70's 911, so i figure they'll fit most 944 and 924S cars.

Sometimes you go to the bathroom in a restaurant or coffee shop and they have only the one restroom with a lockable door. You turn the handle and it doesn't move, so you stand back to wait a moment. Then someone else comes up behind you and joins the line. Now you're looking at the door handle and wondering, "Did I turn it the right way?" or "Maybe I was supposed to push on the door instead of pull." You strain your ears for the sound of a faucet running or a toilet flushing behind the door. Another person joins your line. It's been a few minutes now. I usually break down and grab the handle, twist it both ways and jerk back and forth on the door a few times just to be sure. It really helps cut the tension.

Sometimes while you ponder the situation, the person behind you takes control of the situation, steps forward and opens the door by being more forceful. He strides in and does his business, leaving you waiting a bit longer, but with greater certainty as to the availability of the restroom. If you have to wait more than a minute or two, you start wondering if you even want what's behind that door.

Other times you open the door, which really doesn't lock anyway, and there's Bubba gruntin' and groanin' and a stench that makes you lose your appetite.

I love those Tifo moments. Such wisdom, such grace, all is one Super Hero "Cynicus Deflectus"

First of all late 70s 911 wheels would be early offset 15" wheels. Not really desirable for 944s these days.

Second, restaurants with only one bathroom usually have doorknobs that I don't even want to touch.

Third, this is his way of subtly letting you know that he thinks the subject matter of your thread sucks.

Yeah, I looked at the wheels they were nice but I noticed they had center bolts and not lug nuts so not really applicable to 944s.

I should not attempt answer your quesiton, "your thread sucks" may actually be better phrased as, your thread is off topic as it does not relate to 944s.

if you read the questions, the seller states these are 16" wheels, although you are correct these are early offest, they will fit 83-86 944's. The little offset bolt holds the center cap on - the 5 bolt holes are under the cap, similar to BBS wheels

thanks, I didn't figure that out about the lug nuts.

I shouldn't attempt to explain the posting habits of Tifo. He has been doing this since I have been here.

I'd apologise quickly if I were you. Tifo is one of the most knowledgable and respected RLers here. You won't win brownie points for calling him a douche, particularly when it is your head is that firmly embedded, kid.

Careful there. You've been here just over a month now and the 'douches' have been contributing for over 6 years. There's a habit that all dogs have in common, they don't **** in their own beds. Take that as a hint please.
