ok as of next weekend i will most likely have a new car but also a set of teledials and adaptors. so before i start looking at buying banded steels or anything and sell the teledials i was thinking i may put the adaptors to use and sell the teledials if i find a set of porsche wheels i like. but i have no idea about porsche wheels so has anybody got any pics or advice on nice porsche wheels that work well on the mk3?

also where do you take alloys to get them polished?

imo Design 90s aka D90s as seen on kells mk3, or 928s can look ok as well

D90s




928s (not many decent pics of mk3s on 928s)

There's a guy on edition 38, known as mike the polisher. He's meant to be very good with polishing

type in google, mike the polisher, you'll find him

Cheers mate I have emailed him.

Looks likely I will be getting the teledials from DUBboi12
Just trying to do my homework on the wheels as they are 15" teledials but the rears have a dish but the fromts are the total opasit with the centres poking write out and the rims go in. Been trying to find out if they came off a Porsche like that or if they are a miss matched pair.
The fronts I have found out are early teledials but when ever I type that in to google I get pics of all 4 wheels with the centres poking out. So I think somebody has put a pair of dished teledials with a pair of early centre poke teledials but I could be wrong. Anybody got any info on this?

these are what the front ones look like. but the rears are a little bit deep dish.

I think the dished ones are from the rare early 944 turbo and the others are from the later 944. They should be the same front and back so as you say someone has mixed them.

Thats what my porsche nut Dad says anyway  :laugh:

Porsche rims are usually staggered

my D90s were 6" fronts and 8" rear, i had to buy 2 sets to get the 4 x 8" that i wanted

yeah but if you look they are also a diferant style teledial. the fronts dont have that curve between the holes. the rears look like normal teledials to me and the fronts very early ones i recon

I have always had a soft spot for the 928's but in polished finish.
