Somebody buy these wheels!

Post by KS »

Anyone ever seen a set of a car? For sale on a VW forum - Stilauto 6.5 x 15 Porsche PCD. He wants 1800 Euros the set. If the ET works, they'd look fantastic on an early 911 (or a 914!) but can't justify the purchase myself. Love the styling. 8)

Sorry - I think those look ugly !

They might look better painted all silver but the machined/sharp edges make them look cheap ...

1800 Euros is a lot of cash but you have the Porsche tax to consider!

If they were painted or Cerakoted to look like mags...........

...Plus the rarity. I love them, but they weighed too much.

Always loved these, such a rad wheel and so unusual. However I am €1800 short and already have two sets of wheels for one car haha!

Did sort a deal between two friends recently on a different set of Stil-Auto’s so had to try them on my car whilst they were with me :)

They are in process of being stripped back to silver on the spokes, think they are cool in an ugly but awesome way!

Those Stil-Autos are as ugly as the J.A.Pearce alloys that I had years ago and couldn't give them away for £200 back then.

Just found a set for sale in the States for $3875 with the seller claiming rarity - I think they may take a little time to sell at nearly $4k!

The VW guys may be prepared to pay for rarity but the Porsche guys stick to the traditional rims.

They’re possibly rare for a very good reason
