Default WTB Techart Daytona wheels

Looking for a set of used Techart Daytona's for NB 993. Would like to buy or trade for my BBS RS-GT's.

Yes, I have talked to him in the past. Just always hoping to find a deal on a used set than pay full price for new. May have to check in with him again and see where his pricing is at now.

Did you see that set on here that were from a 996 TT? You may have to buy a set that aren't the exact specs but have good faces and then re-barrel them to your specs.

Thanks for the heads up! This is the second set I found in Europe today. Unfortunately at that price and the rears needing to be resized I might as well go with a custom set. Thanks anyways.

How about this set:

Yeah, you'll have to negotiate shipping and possibly repainting the centers. Also unclear if the lips have the logo etchings on them still, but the sizing and offsets seem good.

Yeah, I saw that set yesterday as well. This was actually the first set I have found for sale that are sized correctly for a NB. Unfortunately at that price and needing to be refinished it would probably be cheaper to buy a custom set.

There might be some room to negotiate on price? I don't think the seller really knows much about the wheels. If you had a red interior like mine, I'd say just stick with the red finish to start off and embrace the flare.

I rebuilt a set of OZ Racing Pegasus this year from 17x9 to 17x10. I found that the price of replacing the lips was the biggest expense. If the red ones are the specs you want they are a solid option as you won't need to purchase inners or outers.

I can get a custom set from Jim Dorociak for not much more than the asking price of the red set. Shipping from the UK, and repainting the centers would end up costing more than I saved. I will probably just end up ordering a set from Jim or keeping my BBS's.

Ahh didn't realize Jim had some Daytona centers. That would be a excellent option. Btw your car does look great the way it is. I do love those Techart Daytonas though.
