Hi, I'm selling my 18'' HRE C21 rims. Front 18 x 8 (48ET) / Rear 18 x 10 (39ET). They were used on a narrow body 996, only for a few months, and are in near perfect condition. Centers are powder coated black, lip is polished. Asking only $2,500... and I'm sure you guys already know that these things are over $6k new and the strongest/lightest wheels you can buy

P.S. Will take some pics tomorrow.

 

Here are some pics. I'm also including blacked-out Porsche center caps. I weighed these today and they only weigh 19lbs!

 

All PM's replied..

Here's a photo of the other side.. they're a little dirty, but otherwise perfect

 

Sent you a PM.

 

damnit! im local and would love to buy them... too bad they are for a narrowbody

 

That is too bad. However although they are for NB, I think there is a possibility that they will prolly fit with spacers since they are fairly wide even for NB. I'll call HRE tomorrow and see what they tell me...

 

Not to interlope, by couldn't you use spacers? I was stuck the other way around. Trying to fit WB wheels on a NB car and couldn't pull it off. You may be able to get away with just a set of rear spacers depending on the offsets.

 

as far as i know, the wide body cars are like 4.5 inches wider overall.. that leasve about 2.25" on either side. I think a spacer that size is excessive and really messes things up in terms of suspension geometry, etc. I would be curious to see what HRE says and what kind of spacer would be required. I would think that the best method to make these wheels "fit" is to swap barrels to a setup for a widebody car.

 

I thought I had adequately edumacated myself on wheel sizes/offsets and could start giving back to the Board (my first shot), having just wrapped up my hunt for 997 wheels. But your post points out that the 996 sizes may be different than for the 997 (which I hadn't considered), because in the case of the 997 (at least I believe) the only difference in the 19” wheels between the WB and NB is the offset. Oh well, back to my day job (while I still have one)...

 

Still available. Looks like I made a slight error guys... the model is actually C21 (not C93) and fronts are 18x8, the offsets are 48 front and 39 rear. The rears have a 3' lip. The back barrel is 7'.

 

Thanks for the info, but I always thought that the OEM NB cars were 18x7.5 (f) and 18X10(r), which is SIGNIFICANTLY different from the WB cars that come with 18x8(f) and 18x11.5(r). Please correct me if I'm wrong.


thanks for the info. I replied to your PM.

 

Anyone know what stock 996 GT3 wheel widths and offsets are?

 

F 8.5" x 40mm
R 11" x 63mm

 

Are you looking to trade or just straight sell?

 

very nice wheels! good luck with the sale.

but is it just me? that rear 39ET offset doesnt look right for a narrowbody 996. must have stuck out significantly outside of the rear fenders.
