Default FS: DFW 17 inch Boxster Wheels Fits Late 944 951

17 Boxster S Wheels for sale. 4 NIB genuine Porsche centers. Centers are plain silver. Wheels straight and true and balance nice but 2 have some rash from being stacked on the floor wrong. These will fit a late offset 944 with 6 or 7 mm spacer in the front. Currently have Birdgestone Potenza S-03 205-50-r17 for Fronts and Michelin Pilot 275-40-z17 on the rear. Both sets of tires have about 50% or more tread. Not the greatest tires in the world but they hold air and look decent. These bought for track wheels but never used as I changed to different sized tires. These really update the look of a 944. Not sure if they can be used on an early offset car. . Pickup or Delivery in the DFW area or can deliver to DFW PCA swap meet 3-12 in DFW. Shipping may be restrictive because of the size. If you must have it shipped 100% shipping and packaging is on the buyer. Can deliver it to Oklahoma or Kansas in the next 30 days if prepay. Meet on I35 between DFW and Wichita KS. Pictures upon request $550 OBO. Paypal, USPS Money orders or cash. PM for questions. Selling references upon request.

After many offers to trade for everything from a tricked out pocket bike to a "hacked" X-box. The only thing i would consider in trade is a recent laptop. For the right one i may even throw some cash your way. All PM's to this point answered.

If you decide to part them I will take the rears 300 bucks plus shipping. I have no need for the fronts. Keep me in the loop. My wife would kill me but I might take the whole set, if you arent willing to part.

Matt, I think what you need to do now is to buy so many sets of wheels that she can't keep track of them!

Matt;
If it makes it easier to sell the wife how about $300 for the whole set plus $200 handling plus actual shipping costs?

Don't want to break the set at this point. But for sure will keep you in mind.

Brandon, the new car came with two, I have 2 for the BMW, three for the Porsche and a few for the RX7. It is WAY out of control.

Keep it in mind, I already have a set but I need the 8.5" to run all around. It is difficult to find them and the only wants who want to break a set have damaged wheels (guess which ones are usually damaged)!

Early offset cars need to either swap spindles or get spacers.

You can use spacers with longer studs, cost about another 200 bucks to do it right.

With rising prices on studs and spacers....youre looking at closer to 400. Assuming you buy new that is.

To answer the many PM's and for other potential buyers. I can take the tires off the wheels and ship the wheels only. The best way UPS if home address in 4 seperate boxes to make them a uniform size or Yellow Freight Freight collect to a business address, strapped to a pallet.

You can save the buyer a small fortune by using FEDEX. Wheels only should cost less than 60 bucks almost anywhere in the US. With the tires it shouldnt be more than 100 bucks. Doesnt say where you are in Dallas but the FEDEX facility if right behind the airport. If you are in the Coppell area it is no more than 10 mins from you (I used to live in Coppell).
