WTB: 18" rims for my 993 NB

There are so many options if I wanted 19s, but I just feel they are too big on the 993. Would love a set of 18" RUFs, some BBS LM's, 5 spoke HRE's, Fikse FM5's or ???

Hi,

I have a set of authentic 18" Gemballa wheels that were on my 2001 Porsche carrera 996 narrowbody. They also have almost brand new Michelin PS2 Tires on them as well. I dont know if they will fit but I am sure you can call a wheel place and find out. If you are interested please feel free to send me a message. Thanks and hope I can help you out..Paul

The suspension on the 993 is very sensitive, it needs to be align on a regular basis with big wheels. That's why base 993's came with 16's.
