They look like 9x15 and 11x15. Magnesium centers, not forged. Tires on them would not normally be used, unless to roll a car around the shop.

Tires - no longer made, at least at an obtainable price. They make race tires to fit, and Michelin makes TB's that are VERY expensive, as does Perelli.

The offsets are 930, meaning that a wide bodied conversion car would need very big spacers to make them work.

I find it surprising that people ask the prices that they do for these considering tires and offset.

930 offset in fuchs and most other wheels fit nicely on narrow bodied cars. IIRC 930s used 1" spacers front and rear to move the wheels and tyre out to fill the wider fenders.

These will not fit like 16x9 Fuchs on the rear of a Carrera or an SC or a wide-body conversion of the same cars. The 930 has a trailing arm that is moved closer to the outside of the vehicle. They used a factory spacer to make the 16x8 and 9's fit. The 930 trailing arm is a beefier trailing arm.

The offset is the issue, in this case it is the backspace. The 73 RSR had an offset of -27, while these are probably +28. They can be used on a wide-body conversion with VERY big spacers - which the bearings may not be big enough for.

With out knowing the offset you can't really tell what they will fit. Not in the market so I'm out/

hey guys. i hope to get a free moment to get into my garage and further check these out to see if i can find the sizes etc. The guy who sold this car to my friend has made all kinds of interesting claims that i cannot back up. One was that its a 930-80 which i believe is a 3.2 liter race engine. That is confusing as i believe its a 3.4 twin plugged engine with a full exhaust hand made by Bob holcombe back in 87.

the other fun claim that i cannot back up was that it was 1 of 2 930's to ever leave the factory with the RSR 10K tach and 200 MPH speedo. here's the listing where my friend had bought the car.http://www.usedcarsfsbo.com/asp/Item...=2%2F25%2F2011 it was also said that this car was imported in 1980 but for track work....who knows. hoping someone will put me,in my place :)

Perhaps I am wrong, The vin does not seem to match anything. Maybe a number is missing?

Either way, it look like a LOT of fun. Drive safe.

Ok I've now done a ton of google searches looking for these Gotti wheels. a bunch of pictures show up but not any with the raised center hex cap like mine. Does anyone know how to tell if these are magnesium as someone here suggested? they do say J-55-A on the face of them. does the "A" mean they're aluminum?

smdubovsky 05-03-2017 04:24 PM

I checked Tire Rack. Who knew Pirelli still makes P-Zero 345/35-15s? Cheap at only $760/tire!

Gottis sit year after year w/ people asking just over $1k. I've never seen a set of them sell. Tires are impossibly expensive, they look goofy on anything but a similarly dated goofy Gembella body kit, and fit an extremely rare subset of cars that are now worth so much no one will use anything but modern looking wheels or classic fuchs. Good luck selling them.

The hex center caps are just that. Center caps.
