Well,

I went through the entire thread and must say, there are many awesome examples with beautiful wheels. For my taste and considering that the look of wheel is very much influenced by the model and colour of the car, I fell for the MY02 996 wheels for my 98 Cab. I looked at a few sets and finally came across a deal I couldn't refuse. I got these:

1) Used MY02 OEM wheels in great condition (a few small nicks)
2) Tires with 60% tread on rear and 85% on front
3) Balanced
4) Installed

All in $800 cash

Can anyone share the manufacturer of these wheels?

EDIT: I found the Work VS XX wheel which appears to be identical to this one. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Greg, these wheels are from the German Porsche-tuner AP Car Design. Unfortunately they did not fit my NB 993 because of the rear offset (10x18 ET47).
