It's about time for me to get at set of wheels+Winter Tires
 

Hi Everyone,

After owning my 1st Porsche 06 C4S for the last few months. It's about time that I need to get ready for some new wheels+winter tires.

My Porsche is my daily drive, and I'll daily be daily driving it in the winter as well.

I know Tire Rack offer some less expensive wheels+tires package, but I figure the wheels may also worthy nothing when I try to sell them later.

I currently have the 19" scorpion wheels, which I am consider turning them as winter wheels, then get some better looking (OEM Porsche or other aftermarket wheels) for my summer tires.

Any suggestions?

wheels
 

hi,
i have O.E. 18" Turbo Twist wheels from my C2S,widebody.
GREAT CONDITION,no marks or scratches anywhere.
$850 plus actual shipping from 12919.

The C2S is not a widebody, so your post confuses me.

C2s
 

it is DEFINETLY a widebody w same o.s. as all widebodies

There's a difference b/t the 993 C2S and 997 C2S - the 993 is a widebody and the 997 is not.

I have some OEM 19" lobster forks for $850 off my '05 C2S if you want a set for winter (or summer). PM me if interested.

IF a 997 is an S, it's a widebody!

I used to think the same thing, but it's not the S that makes it a widebody for the 997 generation. It's the all wheel drive (C4, C4S, Targa 4, Targa 4S, Turbo, etc.) that are wide.

My 997 C2S is a narrow body (as they all are). For the 993 however, you are correct.

i would think, a an AUTHORISED PORSCHE dealer would settle this.

He is correct, a C2S is not a widebody from the 997 generation.

I could not see that you had a 993 when I was posting, but yes you do have a widebody.

Exactly what I did, put winters on my stock 18's and bought a set of Turbos for the summer

Please call me and I can answer all your questions and get you into what you need ASAP! Inventory won't be better this season than it is right now.

If you don't want to buy the Cup 4 wheels, many guys buy OZ Allegeritas. They are light and strong, not real expensive, and have plenty of resale value to the race community.

No need to involve a dealer when so many 997 owners know their cars - also, it is the owner's manual and the PCNA WEB.

Or WIKI it: "In late 2005, Porsche announced the all wheel drive versions to the 997 lineup. Carrera 4 models (both Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S) were announced as 2006 models. Both Carrera 4 models are wider than their rear wheel drive counterparts by 1.26 inches (32 mm) to cover wider rear tires."

C2 is not wide, "S" or not. C4/C4S is wide and has rear wheels with a different offset.
