Default Help finding wheels for 944

Can any of you guys tell me if there is any aftermarket companies that make wheels that will fit my 87 944s. I would like 17x7 front and rear in a thin ten spoke style that has a Lemans look to them. The catch is I need them on a working mans budget. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Paul

There are a couple of companies, but affordability isn't going to be there I don't think. BBS, Forgeline, Champion, Kinesis, Fikse, etc. The good news is that your 87 944 will accept the Porsche OEM wheels from most later model cars including the boxster, 996, 997, 993, etc. For the most part they are fairly affordable and all over places like ebay. I would highly consider going doing a staggered setup with 7,8 or 7,9, versus a square setup.

Thank you Doc. Which ones will have 17s with the correct offset to look right? I wouldnt mind them a inch wider in the rear but want the same look in the front. I just want no clearance issues and want them inside the fender openings. I see a lot of them but need your knowledge to get the right wheel and tire size to keep the same overall tire size and proper fit. Thank you so much, Paul
