Default 18" speedlines FS or trade?

purchased some speedline alzena wheels last year, resprayed the centers, refinished the bolts and polished and cleared the outer hoops myself over the winter. Center caps were missing when i purchased them so i had a friend turn some out of aluminum- dont have them in the wheels yet waiting on some decals i ordered for the centers. They turned out pretty good- not perfect but respectable- coated the outer loops w/ what POR15 calls Glisten PC which is supposed to be a very tough clearcoat for aluminum wheels. Found after i converted my suspension to late offset that they are alittle closer to the wheel wells than i would really like. I need 55mm offset and these are 50mm. 18x 9" front and 10" rear. Would sell for $2000 or trade for some 55mm offset wheels and maybe cash depending on what they are.

I would trade you my wheels if you like them, their carrera 4's 996. i think 9 in fronts and 10 rears or 10.5. They are in great condition, they bolt right in to my 944 turbo S. They are the Sport Design wheels.

and another photo where you can see just how wide they are, they look real good in person and are staright and perfect, they've never had to be fixed and are original from a 996 carrera 4S, also came on early 996 gt3's and other 911 carrera's as optional.

Maybe you explained why you are selling these wheels in the thread im just to lazy to read it. So why the heck are you selling the wheels???
The 3 piece speed line wheels are by far my favorie wheels. If and when i get a 951 again, im getting a set. If i still had the black car, i would be on these wheels like a hobo on a ham sandwich.

I love those carrera 4 sport designs, but the speedlines are worth a lot more, aren't they?

Dan, are you sure you can't have your rear hubs turned down 5 mm? Or, get 5 mm narrower outer rim halves for the rear wheels? They look so great on your car.
