Default MY02 Wheel /Tires on CL in Los Angeles for $800

If they are for a Boxster I'll take them. If for a 996/993, someone here should. I emailed for the off sets.

Smile Great price, but...

These wheels are somewhat easily bent...the first set I bought, one wheel had to be replaced. On the second set, 2 of the 4 wheels needed to be straightened. The sell in both cases handled it and replaced or fixed the wheels.

Make certain to have the wheels spun up on a tire balancing machine...you need a guarantee from the seller that the wheels are straight and true.

Off set...for the 993, 55mm front, 65mm rear....there are various iterations of these wheels..insist on 8" fronts, 10" rears.

The wheels are made for Porsche by BBS in Italy. They are light and easy to keep clean as well. I have two sets, will get a 3rd one of these days. Cant have too many wheels, can we?

Then these are the Boxster-spec wheels which, while not ideal, will still fit 993s although slight rolling of the rear fender may be required depending on the ride height. Or you can use the 9" rears as front wheels if you can find a pair of rear 10" ET65s and sell the 7.5" fronts.

They are 7.5x18 50mm offset / 9x18 52 mm offset. Perfect for the Boxster. I'll pick them up tomorrow!
