They fit a variety of early Porsche models, with particularly strong relevance for Porsche 356, Porsche 912, and early 911 restorations. Their lightweight aluminum design helps reduce unsprung mass, improving ride quality and responsiveness during driving.

For precision fitment, buyers should confirm hub diameter, offset requirements, and brake clearance for their specific model. These wheels are well-suited for concours restorations, period-correct builds, and vintage performance applications.

Condition & Included Hardware

This set includes essential hardware—one center cap and 25 lug nuts with washers—allowing for straightforward installation once fitment is confirmed. As authentic vintage components, the wheels carry mild cosmetic aging that enhances their period-correct appeal. Collectors often appreciate this original character, though refinishing is always an option for buyers aiming for a show-ready appearance.

Every wheel maintains strong structural integrity, making them suitable for display builds, driving restorations, and period motorsport-style projects.
