sorry to bust your bubble but redridge is right. Those are neither hollow spoke or carerra classics... But they are one of the lightest factory wheels in 18".

I like the black look

 

I have the same wheels. What are they if not Carrera classics?

 

Hey socal. Yea it's me. Let me know how much you spent to powdercoat your rims. I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Come by the office and check out my 02 NB C2.

 

Erubin, I'm with you and have to ask the same question? What are they then? From my understanding, from wheel experts and the powdercoater, they all verified that they are hollow spokes. This is important to powdercoaters so that they can properly set the oven so NOT to disturb the tensile strength of the wheel, especially that they confimed them being hollow spokes. I trust the experts. But yeah, the matte black turned out better thatn I had imagined.

ACPporsche996, I will cruise by this week. Through my company, I have the industry deal, $200 bucks to sandblast, powdercoat and put in the oven. CONGRATS ON THE NEW PURCHASE....WHERE'S THE PICS????

 

Oh my god, tint that car windows to go with the black wheels and it's going to look amazing.

 

well technically they are the 2002 996 lightweight Carrera 5-Spoke 18", the carrera classics were 19" that came on the later models...997, both are cast wheels, but whats the verdict on the hollow spokes?

 

Looks great man!
