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.

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
