Ummm, well here we go! We've just taken delivery of our second Porsche 924, which we're going to restore (not professional, enthusiastic amateurs). Please forgive spelling/typing, its Friday and Bacardi, what more can I say?#

Anyways, been trying to figure out for a week what kind of alloys have been slapped on it... and eventually got Fondmetal, Italy and tonight, found the lovely Ginetta G33... if I won the lottery... ok, I'd buy a Jag Mk II, but I'd look at the Ginetta as a Sunday car, no kids, no dogs, wind in me hair and bugs in my teeth... I digress...

Please *beg beg* can someone please tell me if these are the G33 alloys as I think I have broken Google looking for them...

And if you know them, were they exclusively made for Ginetta?

Thank you in advance and my apologies regarding the Bacardi etc etc

Yep, they are G33 alloys made by Fondmetal - should be 15 inch. I am not 100% sure they were only for the G33 but I believe so.

The Porsche owner has spoilt them imo with the grey/black - they were much better as on G33s, ie all silver and polished rim. Unless, of course, they were available like this and for other cars?

Thank you for your replay.
Yeah the previous owner has painted the star unfortunately.
The rim is still original just very dusty.
This is a pic of the wheel after a little elbow grease
