I just bought them. Thanks for the link!! They did not list the shipping cost. How much should shipping be to Denver, Co on wheels?

They look like wide body fitment.
It says "ordered for a C2S", but it also says "will not fit C4S or Turbo"....huh? Doesn't list the offsets, either.

I emailed and tried to call the guy but no answer. If they are truly WB fitment they may not work for Larpy. Larpy if they don't fit and you want to pass them on may I please be first in line?

Thanks

Man, that will suck if they do not fit! I will hold them for you if not. With my luck they probably will not I have the worst luck!

Thoe rears look huge. I would venture to say that they will not fit a NB car. Good price though

At least you bought them right and more than likely can get your money out of them. Good buy!!

I think I have come to the realization that these will probably not fit my NB 993. So with that said I would like to trade them for something that may fit. If I sell them I have several that would like them and have sent PMs. Any trades out there?

Gene's got a set for sale still I think. They are NB fittment. I was going to buy them and make an RS look but went a different route.

Kinesis Supercups 18x8.5 fr et 50 and 18x10 rr et 60. Perfect for 993 narrowbody cars. Will not fit over Big Reds without spacers. Just professionally refinished with disassembly, polish of rims, hypersilver paint of centers, new silicone. No centercaps. These are perfect $2500 plus shipping

Probably because of the Big Reds.

I'm glad a Rennlister got a deal on these and Larpy, it may be worth considering ordering the correct rim sections and having the rear wheels rebuilt to fit a NB. The price was cheap enough that you'd probably still be $$ ahead. If not, you can probably make enough selling them to cover the price plus shipping and still have a little cash left over. btw, if RPM trys to charge you more than about $200 for shipping from Houston to Denver, I would try to arrange my own shipping.

They charged $100 for shipping which I thought was fair. I have paid for them so they should be on their way Monday. Who would I speak to or whom do you recommend to have the rears rebuilt?
