If they would do a 9x17" ET 55 version of the 1986 944 Turbo phone dial rear wheel and an 8x17 ET 65 for the front, that would be epic.
Rob, I couldn't agree more!
I had Dan at Augment work me up some 17" 951 ('86 944 turbo) type phone dials for my 91 Euro GT. I should have them in this next week. I will post pics as soon as they are mounted up but here they are.
Wow, those look spot-on- that 45º transition between the center and the lip is the key visual element on the 951 rear wheel, looks like Dan nailed it. Can't wait to see them on the car!
I thought I would jump in and give a plug for Dan at Augment. I ordered a set of these phone dials for my 86s3 after coming across this thread earlier in the year. Couldn't be happier with the end product or the ordering process. They did take a few months to make it down to Australia but the end result was worth the wait.
I ended up with the following with the offsets matching a set of 18" Simmons wheels I previously had on the car
Front 18x8 with 59mm offset
Rear 18x9 with 65mm offset (edit original Simmons were18x9 - new Augments 18x10)
Running the following tyres with no issues.
Front: 225x40 R18
Rear: 265x35 R18
This is the only photo I have - car is at the trimmer so I can't take any more for a couple of weeks.

Thanks! I'm really excited to get them as it has been a lengthy process with the redesign to his existing phone dial. I almost bought the ones that you ended up with but then decided to just go with a deposit and have him design these. I couldn't be happier with them.
BTW,
Joe Katrola (Texas Stroker - Doc Brown motor) here in DFW had Augment do a set of 18 inch cup 1's for his GTS.
He could NOT find rubber for his widened 17 inch wheels Doc did for him, so went with the 18s as there is WAY more rubber choices available.
They look Awesome! You would have to Really look to see they are 18's, and even then, not sure you can tell.
Think he runs 245s up front and 295s out back. The width looks just right! (can't remember the aspect ratios...)
Crap pic, but you get the idea.
Here they are! 245/45/17, 8.5" ET66 up front and 315/35/17, 10.5" ET51 in the rear. Perfect fit and no rubbing! Plan on putting 255's up front but 245's are what I had.
