Early Porsche 911 wheels

A lot differnt wheels have been available for the 911. The early 911 s were delivered with simple steels wheels. 4.5 J x 15
These wheels could also be chromed, and be ordered with or without a
colored Porsche logo. As seen on this yellow car. These wheels were
used with small 165 HR tires.
In 1967 the S was introduced. This car featured the light-weight Fuchs
alloys., strangely these were only 4.5 inches wide. These early wheels
can be recognized by the moderate amount of black paint that was
applied to them.
In 1968 the Fuchs wheels were widened to 5.5 inch width. The next year
the wheel arches were modified to make room for the 6 inch wide
Fuchs-alloys. 185 HR tires could now be used.
