$2800 plus shipping for the set. Price is firm. This is less than half price from new for the wheels and tires.

Sizes:

Front: 8.5x19" offset 50mm; tires 235/35-ZR19
Rear: 11x19" offset 70mm; tires 315/25-ZR19

The tires are ContiSportContact2's in 996TT and GT2 size. The remaining treadwear is very good at 4/32nd inch, enough for thousands of miles of normal driving.

This set is about 5 years old and has been used on several 996 Turbos and also several 996 narrow bodied cars. The fronts fit without spacers; the rears fit on a narrowbody without modification, and also adapt to widebodies with 27mm spacers (included) to create the proper offset for the 996TT and 996C4S, as well as wide bodied 997's.

The paint on the wheels are in good condition but are not show quality. They're great looking "from 5 feet away". The right rear wheel has curb rash but I didn't want to have it renewed due to possible paint matching problems. There is minor cosmetic damage to the tire rubber from a tire machine, which does not affect safety (I've driven with this set for 5K miles so far). So I priced the set accordingly. If you're looking for show quality wheels, these can be sent as a set altogether to a restorer and done at the same time.

I'm located on the San Francisco peninsula.

Can these wheels be fully restored? Any idea what shipping to So. Calif. would run? Thanks.

 

PorschePaul,
Yes, there's no problem for a good wheel handler (Wheel Enhancement? Others?) to refinish these wheels. Last I checked, Weissach could do each wheel to the original Chrome Optic finish for about $250 each; other finishes by 3rd parties are a lot less; $100-175 per wheel depending on who you go to.

Shipping to SoCal is about $180. I am willing to work out a discount on the shipping fee.

John,

I'm in the bay area and I may be interested in those wheels if you have not sold them yet.

 

Roger,

I still have them; I haven't touched them since this ad was posted. I'll PM you with my contact info.

Cheers,

John

SOLD!!! To another 6speeder.

 

Crap... this is what happens when I'm away in Seattle.

 

Roger,

Sorry - it would have been so convenient to sell them to you, since we're living in the same town. Didn't know you were still interested though, after the last email exchange.

The wheels are going "across town" to Virginia... to a real nice C4S owner.

 

No worries. I just lost out on a great deal. I was a bit MIA since I was traveling then...

Did you ever go on that drive on Sat/Sun?
