Not a 996 (but has basic 911 shape, so you can get the general idea).

Um, well, it's not a 996 either...which is what this thread is focused on.

Nice looking wheel design but 20-21" wheels (whatever those are) would look silly on a 996.

Fixed....
Ya, 21" wheels might be a little much for 996, but this Signature SV303 (also available in standard hub fitment) style in 19" would look super hot on a 996, which is exactly what I had in mind when I was looking at one earlier this year.

Thank you!
I am so pleased with how these wheels changed the entire look of the car.


I'm pretty sure the tint is 35% ceramic....
(whatever is legal in the state of NC).

Thanks, we can go 24% here but I don't want to be rolling down my windows all winter looking for fn peds crossing the streets in black hoodies with ear buds in.

I can probably search old emails from buy/sell to get you the offsets but they were not perfect for the 996tt so you can make whatever work within reason or get new ones made to fit right.

18 is what you want on 996tt however, unless you are more show than go.

Champion RS98 to be specific. I have them on my 997. I agree with @911mhawk in that 19s are a bit large for the 996, and better suited to the 997. 19" tire selection is very limited in sizes that work well with the 996 differential. I'm not sure if Champion still make them or not. Nearly all the RS98s I have seen for sale used are 19" 997 fitment. I have seen one set of 18s, but they were a boxster/cayman fitment.

Champion no longer offers those wheels however Forgeline does offer the GA3C that looks very similar and comes in any diameter, width, offset, and finish needed for the 996. If you'd like information on pricing & availability give us a shout.
