I don't think so! I'm in a few Porsche groups on Facebook etc? I go to Easy's meeting first Saturday of every month and hang with the R Gruppe guys and do some drives etc. I'm the guy with the Porsche Youtube channel 'kavs911'. \n\nI bought these Steelies from a R Gruppe member as an alt set of wheels for The Canary, my 1969 911T. I love the look of these vintage widened steelies. The deep dish look is awesome! They are all date matched 8/66 original KPZ 4 1/2\" which have been professionally widened to 7\" with a positive 76mm backspace. What does that mean? Well I bought them because they fit under a narrow body 911 (1969 on). They look the biz on long hood 911's and G body cars. A 225/50 R15 tire works great! They are powder coated grey, nice tough finish with no blemishes on the faces. I never mounted tires on them and they sat in a box in the garage for a few years while I worked on other projects. I thought it was time to pass them on to someone who will use them.\n\nHappy bidding! \n\nCheers!\n\n-Kav.", "likes": 6, "timestamp": 1657499374, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9006615, "authorName": "russ240", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/russ240/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Great looking wheels! \r\n\r\n@kav Can you say what size spacers were used to achieve the fitment in the photos of them mounted?", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1657539980, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9006910, "authorName": "Ronmistak", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/ronmistak/", "bidAmount": 450, "content": "$450 bid placed by Ronmistak", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1657546097, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9006912, "authorName": "MrBonus", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/mrbonus/", "bidAmount": 550, "content": "$550 bid placed by MrBonus", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1657546123, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9007203, "authorName": "Ronmistak", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/ronmistak/", "bidAmount": 675, "content": "$675 bid placed by Ronmistak", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1657549861, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9008555, "authorName": "kav (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kav/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@russ240 Not sure on the wheel spacers, I will ask the previous owner.", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1657560634, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9009238, "authorName": "caldavids", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/caldavids/", "bidAmount": 800, "content": "$800 bid placed by caldavids", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1657563786, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9010152, "authorName": "MrBonus", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/mrbonus/", "bidAmount": 911, "content": "$911 bid placed by MrBonus", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1657567829, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9010217, "authorName": "MrBonus", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/mrbonus/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "15x7s can be a bit dodgy with an aggressive offset in the rear of early cars.
