FS: Complete set of 19" Ruger Classic wheels with black center caps. The wheels were installed on my 2010 997 in November 2010. They have about 7,000 miles on them. At the time of purchase I wanted a set of Porsche Sport Classic wheels, but they were simply too expensive for my working class budget, so I bought the Rugers. In the two years since I've been able to put aside enough to be able to buy a set of Sport Classic wheels, which are on my car now.

8.5 X 19 front (45 offset / 26lbs) / 11.0 X 19 rear (56 offset / 28lbs). The front tires are the same size as the narrow and wide body 997s. I installed the 295s that came on the car from the stock wheels onto the Rugers, and they worked fine. However, when it comes time to replace the rear tires I'd suggest replacing the 295s with a pair of 305s. The rears are 11", which is (I believe) the same width as the wheels that come on the wide body cars. I don't know what the difference in the offset is between the NB and the WB cars.

The wheels look like new with one minor flaw. I'm not sure if a dog relieved itself on one of the rear wheels, or I came in contact with some other road chemical, but one of the rear wheels has a small flaw in the clearcoat just under the valve stem. I have not researched what it would cost to repair the clearcoat, but unless you know it's there, it's nearly undetectable.

I cannot confirm if these wheels will fit a 997.1 or any other Porsche cars, but they may.

I paid $1600 for the wheels two years ago. I'm asking $900 plus shipping in CONUS. I'm in eastern NC about an hour south of Raleigh.

Additional photos and info available upon request.

Thanks for looking.
