I have for sale a take-off set of OEM, Factory, Geninue Original Equipment Newly Introduced 20" 2014 Porsche 981 Carrera S III wheel set. This sale is for the 20" Wheel set and Porsche Center Caps Only. Tires & TPMS are not included in this sale. The wheels were taken off my 2014 Porsche 981 Cayman S.

The wheels are brand new condition. I just got them back from being professionally powder coated with the original factory color. There is no structural damage such as bends, cracks, curb rust or scratches. The wheels are straight, round and Brand New condition.

THIS WHEEL SET SHOULD FIT THE 981, 987 AND 986 BOXSTER

 

Here are three photos of the actual wheels which were taken off the actual vehicle.

After removed, they were immediately sent off and professionally powder coated with the original factory OEM color. There were a few minor scratches from removing the tires and I wanted to have them taken care of professionally but now they look 100% factory original. No scratches at all!

Hello,
Can you tell me (or can you find out) what the highest temperature was used in the powder coating of these wheels, as they are susceptible to issues after being exposed to temperatures over 325 degrees.

Thank you very much. (I am interested in the wheels).

 

Let me check with the vendor used. I'll get back to you once I hear a response.

 

So I just got off the phone with my buddy who owns Vorsteiner Wheels. He said that the finisher they use typically use temps from 300 degrees - 400 degrees. They have to use higher temperatures when they encounter issues like "gas" and "spitting". They said if temperatures go much higher than that they can have issues with bending or warping. The temperatures are only brought to these temperatures for short periods of time which doesn't cause any harm to the wheel.

Even if the powder coat process reached the range of annealing temps, it would not have any adverse effect on the alloy's strength ---- in fact, it could possibly improve it. They also allow the rims to cool gradually on its own over the course of an hour since cooling too quickly could cause potential problems.

I hope this answers your questions. I doubt he would do anything which would compromise the integrity of the wheel. He's been making wheels for Porsche, Lamborghini, McLaren and Ferrari for years and there's never been any issues. We have tracked all the above cars/rims and never had any issues either.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Jon

I just checked and I can ship them nearly anywhere in the US for about $200.

 

Are these still available, and are they the same wheels used on the Spyder?
