TwoHeadsTas Posted 2July, 2022 Report Share Posted 2July, 2022 OK, seems as though E88s might be a hard call. What about a set of Sport Classic IIs, 18", 996 fitment? Original or good replicas (8" fronts instead of 7.5" would be better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crsedge Posted 3July, 2022 Report Share Posted 3July, 2022 They are quite hard to find Peter. I looked for several months with no luck when COVID stopped production at the factory making Euromeister GT3 18" rims. The factory reopened and I ended up getting the Euromeisters- am very happy with them 😎 GTP911 and TwoHeadsTas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but sometimes people do want the real thing and if they are as scarce as has been suggested then might be a viable option.

Had these on our first 987 Boxster, lovely wheel, but the ride on the 19's was a bit harsh. I like the softer ride of the 18"s and higher tyre walls. On this particular car, ride comfort will be a higher priority than performance (otherwise I wouldn't have sold the GT3 🙂 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like those wheels. Very 'BBS style' - Classic look, yet still OEM Porsche. I realise @TwoHeadsTas has said he is not keen, however not sure those are correct fitment for 996 C2 Narrow Body. Those offsets seem to me to suit widebody? So, on my C4S for example... 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mttel Posted 6July, 2022 Report Share Posted 6July, 2022 40 minutes ago, TwoHeadsTas said: I have an enquiry in about combined postage.... I went with the Stuttgart Classic carbon + 3rd brake light (not cheap) but wanted the full lid version. Build and delivery indicted to be 7/8 weeks. Initially will leave as gloss finish over the carbon but will eventually paint the same colour as the car once I get side skirts and maybe front bumper sorted (need to stop as already +50% of the purchase price on maintenance and improvements, lucky it was a relatively low starting point). RPM wore out the mould for their 3rd brake light narrow body version and are indicating +1 year before they get a new one. Most of the others I could find via google, reviews seemed to be that the fit tolerance were relaxed and required a good body shop to make it look right for even gaps all around. With the option you have of replacing the lift up lid this maybe not so big and issue. Rims are 18 Oz Racing Alleggerita (just updated profile pic).

They'd be a bastard to clean One of the real pleasures I've discovered with my original C4S wheels is just how easy 5 smooth spokes are to clean!
