I'm actually going through this entire thread, and while I LOVE my classic OEM 17" Cup wheels, if I were to make an update, I think I would go this route!!! Go figure, with all the choices I've seen, this one keeps coming back as the sweetest, from my perspective.

And it looks like fit on a NB. Mine is lowered, so I guess I rolling fenders might be needed, but besides that, might be a good fit.

Oh Man, I gotta say I LOVE GT3 wheels on a 993.

Hi Darin, did you have to roll your fenders? Any issue installing them (or fitament issues)?

One day.....

Thanks, I love the look too. These are replica wheels (pretty cheap @ $1000/set)
The rears are 10 x 18 et54, so they push the wheel out to the edge of the fender without needing spacers. I am running 265 rear tires and the fenders are not rolled. No rubbing. Not sure if you can go much bigger on the rear tire.
Fronts are 8.5 x 18 et52 so they fit just fine (225 tires.)

RP993,

That is one classy looking 993. A bit deceiving in it's looks. Is it a vintage 911? Or a newer 911? Or hey, the best variation, a super cool and unique 993! I love it!!

Thanks Jimbo! I've been wondering about those wheels as there are so many out there for sale.

I give up.
Who's the aftermarket mfg for these 18" GT3 style wheels?

The 18" replica GT3 wheels look look great on the 993 body vs the 19" version of the same by the OEM.
