I need a SINGLE Porsche Phonedial wheel. 16x7 in size. If anyone has set they don't want to break up let me know as I am still interested.

Also after a space saver wheel in porsche stud pattern.

This is the wheel type I am talking about:

VWCOOL had a set on here for sale.
I might be able to help too but they are in melbourne
what you looking to pay for the set?

EgeWorks ·

After a day of calling around Prosche places I came up with some good luck. No need to buy anything more for the moment. Thanks for the help Beerboy, I'm in melb by the way🙂

Are these for you???

Beerboy ·

glad you got it sorted dealers were probably the best way forward for one.

EgeWorks ·

These aren't for me unfortunately🙁 Oh how I would love them though. It's for my girl's bug. One of her rims was buckled beyond repair.

I ended up finding a place called Parts Heaven that deals in Porsche wrecks as well as many other cars (mostly Jap imports) and they had a 928 from Japan that had a blown engine so they were parting it out. $200 for a rim. Scored well considereing the other place I found wanted $425 for one.

You can get a whole set for around $600, but what would I have done with the other three?

BTW: still interested in a space saver if anyone has one?

For the space saver you have buckleys trying to buy one.

You are better off contacting Steve C and seeing how he made one.

I "think" it is easier if you use a standard steel rim and then get a new centre welded in that has been plazma/laser cut to a porsche pattern - ala Sunaraysia style of wheel.

Hi,

Space Saver is an easy find, just ask for a steel spare from Sydney American Imports here in Sydney.

I have bought four off them for pushing the car around on and in future for burnouts.

If you want to narrow it just have the welds machined off on a lathe and then re weld a beetle outer then you can have a 15 inch by 4 inch spare it will even fit in the spare wheel well.

Cheers,

Calcool

or get an alloy one for the weight saving ;-)

why will a space saver with a 165x15 not fit in a beetle spare wheel wheel. mine does?!

am I missing something

Special Air Service ·

Calcool, how much did they charge for a "steel spare"? Last time I rang them they wanted a fortune for the bastards. And what widths are they?
Cheers

Hi SAS,

I bought mine for $100 a piece as I said I did not want the factory space saver tyre you know those weird looking units. I was only after the rim. They are 15 by 6.

Beerboy, They will fit in the spare wheel well with a 165 especially if it has never been in a front ender.

Cheers,

Calcool

Beerboy ·

true :-)
