I'm trying to find a repository of OEM wheels that is somewhat searchable and I'm struggling. I'm looking to find wheels in a certain size, PCD, offset et cetera for my build and I like using OEM wheels because I'm cheap and I trust OEM wheels more than cheap knockoffs in racing applications.
If anybody knows off the top of their head I'm looking for a 16x8 4x100 et40 +/- 5mm
Can't speak to the accuracy except maybe a few, but I start here for research and confirm elsewhere.
As someone who's searched that pattern a lot you're going to have problems finding that wide of an OEM wheel. The 4x100 typically came on smaller cars so the need for a wide wheel wasn't there.
Yeah, that's what I was figuring, especially after looking at Robbie's link. Hmm... run narrower wheels or look to the aftermarket? Lucky I've got plenty of time left to decide.
Not relevant to your specific needs, but there's a pretty good database of Porsche OEM wheels here in case anyone else comes upon this thread while searching for wheels.
I agree that a database of all OEM wheels would be an awesome thing to have. Be quite a project to build and maintain, though.
In reply to buzzboy:
If searching CL my best search is quote "4 lug". I say quote because you use the quotation marks in the search block. That finds those two words in that exact phrase. I find a lot of people don't know they have 4x100 but they know they have 4 lugs.
Years ago didn't GRM have an article that had a wheel swap chart - lug pattern, offsets and such?
I don't know if this is really what you're looking for but I've found this to be a great resource for OEM wheels.
