Thinking of selling my Carrera lightweights and winter tires

since I bought a mini as my DD and the last few years I really didn't drive the 996 much with them on. I have maybe 30k on the car and it's an 03 and let's just say I didn't drive the winter tires on that whole time.

What do you think they are worth? I want to put an ad in the local PCA mag.

Wheels are strait in decent shape with only minor nicks around the lug areas except for one wheel which has a modified lug hole which is thinner than the rest because I had a broken lug drilled out last year.

The Wintersports have more then 50-60% tread left....

Corey,

There's a good market for the 5 spoke lightweights among the 993 guys. I sold my OEM BBS wheels about 6 months ago on Rennlist after just mentioning them and still get people PMing me to check and see if they're available.

I sold the wheels alone - PM me for price info if you like.

Good luck,

Tonger

Not sure if they offset on the rear would work for a C4s. Mine's a narrow body, but I do have a set of 17mm tech-art spacers I want to sell also and that may be all you need.

Here are pics of the wheels...
The tires are Pirelli Winter tires...With plenty of tread left
You can also see the only 1 not perfect up hole in the one rear rim. I did have a snapped lug head that had to be drilled out so one hole is flatter and deeper than all the rest from the process to remove the lug. When the wheel is on, you don't notice it. Other than that the wheels are in great condition and are OEM.

Local Pickup $1400 OBO, if not local, then I have to check on shipping and packing as I don't have boxes that they would fit in.

Not sure if it's good for you because they already have a good set of winter tires on them. You in FL correct? Unless global cooling takes off, you'd shred a set of winter tires in no time in the 90+ heat you guys get.

True, I missed my chance to buy a great set online for like $550 with all season tires.
Good luck with your sale.
