i could be wrong, but when i was searching for 996tt hollow spokes, they were 11" wide. the ebay link said turbo/GT2 wheels...i *think* they are two different wheels. IIRC, 996 gt2 wheels were 12" wide and were solid spokes.

it's been about 6 months since i was searching, checking part numbers will verify.

i have my 996tt hollow spokes part numbers if you need them.

Yup, 996GT2 rears are 18 X 12. Also not very common.

Just got a call from David, the set is apparantly refinished and not new. His mistake, Offering to sell for 1250 and free ship or full refund. Pictures being sent shortly......

The guy's name is Dave Buhain. I posted a question about him a few years ago and got a ton of positive responses but declined to deal with him after a few people sent me PM's.

those are the same part numbers as my wheels except for the very last digits. IIRC, those last numbers can be different for some reason......

be sure to get a pic of the backside of the spokes...smooth back=hollow. a ridge in the back means solid.

Thanks, Deal fell thru. he offered the refurbished wheels for 1250, damaged in some way from shipping. He still has them if anyone here wants a used refurbished set for 1250. I'll keep looking.

Anyone know of any let me know

don't forget to buy the "special" valve stems AND install them correctly.
I paid ~ $4 each from Sunset last year.
