Looking for an extra set of wheels for DE/Autocross
97 C4S
Currently has 8 x 18 and 11 x 18

These are listed for sale locally
8 x 18
10 x 18

1st - Does anyone recognize the wheel, what are they off of?
2nd - will they fit my 97 C4S

Thank you,
denny

MY02 off of 996. Best wheels evar! They are great looking and Porsche's lightest 18". Beware, as there are replicas of varying quality. OEM make is BBS and it is stamped as such. You will need some large spacers for the rear on your car, though.

Large spacers? If I might ask...best place to find them...what size, thickness? and....will using a spacer cause any issues with high performance driving, i.e. DE or Autocross...

One more thing....current rears are 11 x 18..these are only 10 wide x 18? Can I still get an appropriate tire on this wheel

Thank you...I also like the look of these wheels and his price is decent.

You'll need a 20-25mm spacer for the rear wheels to bring them closer to where they need to be for a WB car. The 65 offset is for NB cars.

I would look for another wheel honestly. Good chance they are replicas (heavier and just not OEM) and I don't like big spacers (which also add a lot of weight). I would suggest widebody hollow spokes for you. Or else go to Tire Rack and find some OZ or BBS or Volk...

Denny,
If those are originals in decent shape, that is a STEAL. I bought some recently with a so-so refinish for $1200 in SoCal for a reference point (I overpaid...). I found spacers right here on RL.

If you don't buy, let us know...and the RL vultures will descend...

seemed like a very fair price to me....also....I've asked him to confirm that they are originals...not knock offs as suggested earlier in this post.

I went with 996 GT2 wheels. I am not a big fan of running spacers, especially on an autox or track event.
