I'm not sure that bolt pattern will work. But the wheels are all 8.5...I would imagine the 99 is running 8 in front and 10 in the back, not sure if you should go with 8.5 all around. That would affect handling big time...! There is plenty of bling out there, look at some polished HRE's. Although, not for that price mind you.

Those wheels have the wrong bolt pattern...

996's are 5x130. The MY99 18" wheels came stock in 7.5" and 10" widths. Like Robyn said, I think your friend should maintain the staggered set-up.

will not work, offset and tire diameters are all wrong plus those wheels are illegal to put on a porsche. good luck in your search.

I posted an explanation to your question in the 996 Turbo forum that might help you out.
