These are the sportdesign 18" wheels that were equipping the 996 GT3 MK1 in the m.y. 99, a year before, IIRC the same twheels were introduced in the tequipement program for the last m.y. of the 993, so they are not only very desirable, but also period correct.
You just have to control the front wheel channel, since they have been installed also on the 986 Boxster that had a 7,5" channel, instead of 8,0" as it was prevised for the 993 and 996 (in the front). In the rear it should be 10,0" with ET65, same as it is on the 996 GT3.

Thank you. I love the Tramonts; I believe I will be selling these.

[/QUOTE Are those available for NB? Very very nice.
@Khloesdad
Yes. These HRE's are custom built to order so they can be manufactured in specs to fit any 911, including narrow body 993's.

I'm far from the first to do these but I just love them. I had them powder coated a top secret (not really) color to set them off against the Grand Prix White.

The matte black lips give such a meaty tire illusion (in a good way).

It wasn't until the second quarter angle shot that I realized they were 18's. The full side profile had me thinking they were 17's.



Can you post the wheel sizes, offsets and tire sizes?

Veloce GT1.
Very rare - out of production for a decade or two.
Ultra light - around 31kg for a set of 4! (Front: 7.4kg / ~16.3lbs & Rear: 7.9kg / 17.5lbs).
Specifically designed for Porsche, have 130x5 bolt pattern and the correct 71.6mm hub.
