I just took a set of GT2 size tires and put on them b/c I like that tire combination much better.

 

I am sure you are correct but I have found having the part numbers up front avoids any confusion. They are stamped inside the wheels.

 

They are at my tire shop and it's unlikely that I will go there until I sell them, but from my side there is zero confusion regarding these wheels.

These are the specs:

Widths are stamped on the face of the wheels next to the stem: 8 and 11.
ET (offset) are also stamped on the opposing side of the stem (in mm), it's 50mm in front (40mm on the 8,5" wide GT2 front wheels for ref.)
Rears have ET45, also stamped (same as GT2 wheels, but the turbo wheel is narrower by 1").

The hollow spokes are "full" wrap with hollow space inside, thus a lighter wheel (the backsides of the spokes are rounded the same way the face of the spokes). For ref on solid spoke wheels the spokes have carved grooves in the back with no hollow space inside.

Part numbers for these wheels are going to read:
#996.362.138.04
#996.363.142.03/11 and there is a TSB on this, quote:
"In model years 2001 (1), 2002 (2) and 2003 (3) up to end November 2002, wheels were fitted on the rear axle of 911 Turbo vehicles which had an incorrect part number in the casting. Incorrect part number, 996 363 142 03/11. Correct part number, 996 362 142 03/11".

Hollow spokes also have a metal valve stem that sticks through a hole in the wheels (as can be seen in the photos). Stems are regular rubber on solids.

Weight diff is appr 5 lbs per wheel! In total 20 lbs less inertia for the engine to spin up to speed, and 20 lbs less unsprung weight.

These are stronger and lighter than most aftermarket wheels, made by BBS, thus makes for a perfect set of track wheels.

 

Still up for sale!

There are a nice set of true and straight wheels, no abuse or damage, just normally driven.

Tires are included that can be driven on for a few hundred miles (and fronts have much more left).

Hollow spoke, 5lbs ligher per wheel than solids.
