They will do early or late. It just depends if you want something out of the pre cut inventory or are willing to wait on custom.

$3996 for a set!!! It's not a bad price for a custom wheel but dang that's still a bit of dough! Plus they are sold out!!

If you wanted to pay in Canadian dollars. Perhaps you should change the currency drop down next time.

And they never keep much in the pre cut inventory, nearly everything they do is custom order.

I'll have to admit that I really like phone dials from the first time I saw them. I didn't even realize that there there were 2 different offsets.

Would early offset wheels fit on the 1987 car? Probably not since 29 mm difference is quite a bit...

I'm new to the 944 game. Just got the car few months ago and although I'd love black Fuches, I was rally happy to get this car with nearly mint phone dials.

I don’t know if it’s the black color on the car or the angle this photo was taken but they do look pretty freaking cool.

I'm partial to early offset. But that is one good looking 951.

BUT!!! What color is it really?

My car was originally Guards red and I resprayed it India red after the fire. The Guards red is darker, more maroon, while India is bright red with a touch orange.

​​​​​​Someday and sometime when life permits I plan to powder coat my phone dials white.

Those polished gold three pieces could be Rotiform wheels. They look to be 18's s well.
