I think all hollows also have a metal valve. Solids have the plastic valve?

I believe the 9" is a boxster rear wheel fitment. I have one of those for sale as well... I think it might fit up front on a 993 if you have enough camber and possibly roll the lip a bit.

I guess i should have searched first

I found this for NB fitment:

Front Wheels 18x7.5 ET 50, part number 993.362.134.05, and weighs 18.96 pounds each.

Rear wheels 18x10 ET 65, part number 993,362.140.01 A, and weighs 23.94 pounds each.
Strange that both sizes are stamped on one wheel.

What width are the fronts? The 993 came with 8" front HS wheels as an option. Early 3.4L 996s were available with the same 993 HS but in 7.5" fronts that carried a 993 part number. The 996 10" rears for some reason carried two part numbers while the 993 ones only have one part number. My 993 came from the factory with 8 and 10 hollow spokes and several years ago I bought a set of 7.5 and 10 hollow spokes that were removed from a '99 996 to use as track wheels. I paid around $550 on ebay for them. Fronts were perfect and the rears have some curbage. I'd say that the 7.5" fronts are easy to come by but the 8" fronts are rare.

Hey Vince,
I have a pristine set of hollow spokes with new Bridgestone S-02's on them here in Brentwood but they are for a WB as they were the originals on my TT. Don't think they will fit your car.
