Would love to upgrade the wheels on my Poloar Silver 993. Love the look of these, but wanted to check there arent any issues associated with fitting them (I want to avoid spacers for example).

Anyone had any experience of fitting these, and any comments on this type of wheel ("high quality alloy").
Thanks.

Those offsets (8x18 ET50 front, 8x10 ET65 rear) are correct. But these seem to be knock-offs, which are typically pretty heavy and questionable quality. So be careful. Look to be made by "irg" which I've never heard of.

The comment "Quality Exceeds TUV, DOT, JWL and VIA standards" is VERY dubious. Why didn't they just get them TUV approved then??

I have the OEM 18's on mine and haven't had any problems

18's on my 96' with no problems.

The size and offset are perfect, will fit no problem, but aftermarket knock-offs tend to be GARBAGE, even by more reputable manufacturers. They are toooooo heavy, and weak. Find oem take-offs on Ebay from any narrow body body 996 that you like ... they are cheap and high quality

I have 18" BBS wheels on mine - no issues and they look great.

Some people add the steering rack brace when upgrading to 18s.

Thought steering rack brace was only needed on 1995 MY?

TheOtherEric

Correct.

Only early 95s need steering rack brace.

My bad. Was thinking about my own car.
