theses were preetty rare wheels .......well very rare to be honest..they were a set of dage motorsport
split fuch ,of a race series car in the early 80s,they were for the dage motorsport 911 ( 930) series ,the
15s were the original spec but !!!!  competitors were finding the centre of the hub plate was fracturing
under the torque and g force ...sothey recalled all the 15s .........but not all ...hence this set ..
dage then commisioned compomotive to make 16s instead which are the more common place sets about
.this set i had were found in a garden shed in birmingham and for sale in the local newspaper "porsche
wheels for sale "...funny ....
i spent weeks refurbing these beauties only to fing the offset was rediculous for a mk1 / corrado ..so
sold them on to a good friend who widened his mk2 cosiderably to accomadate them....love for wheels..

hope that clears them up ..and not bored you to death ........dale ..wheels whore of old ..

y pretty confident we have met...i used to have a blk g60 syncro with the yellow fuch at 1 of the first uk rallye meets
and janet edwards complained about my car being allowed in as it was not a rallye.....they promptly put her in her place
and said ! " no its rarer than a rallye ,hence hes is coming in ".....funny
yup i am getting to know chris ,he is a top lad ,very dry sence of humour...but top geezer ans knows his stuff....
