Default Quick question re: porsche alloys

Will these work with an early 944 n/a (1984)?

It looks like they are 7's and 8's so they should fit.

I know. I'm not even looking for wheels (I've got fikses), but I like the classic look and thought it'd be fun to put balloonier tires on my car. The low-pros are pretty harsh.

Any idea what the cost of refurb should be for these. They look pretty rough.

If the red 944 in the pics is your 84, and if those wheels are still on I suggest you leave them on .They look just fine. Not saying the fuchs are not ok,it's just that they do look darn rougth.In order to make them look decent you'll have to polish & repaint which could cost you unless you DIY so price will have to come down.Also you want to make sure the wheels are (true & straigth) before putting your money down.On the OE Fuch you will fine those markings with the Size Jx16 & ET23.3 Try to get all those numbers since it will help to determine if those will fit your car.

Make sure you check the part numbers.. 951 part numbered fuchs in 7" and 8" can look like 911 part numbered 6" and 7" wheels.

Also, says there are 4 but you never see more than 3 in the pics

Thanks Gents. These would've been an impulse buy, and yes I love my Fikse FM10s. I think I'm going to pass.
