Default Are these rare or sought after wheels?

Set of tech Art 18" wheels removed from a 993.
Are these sought after? They are up for sale but need refurbishing.
Does any one know how much these wheels are worth once refurbished.

thanks

Tim

I personally like those wheels, and have seen one in person before. But not frequent here in NA.

I think you'll have to buy them, put them up for sale and find out the hard way.

Those are Techart Performance wheels. I use to lust after a set of those. But they looked much better in the black silver colour combo.

I've only ever seen then in person on one 993 in Hong Kong.
The look didn't age too well but I think they still look great on period cars.

The yellow techart 993 looks pretty good imho.

I would say resale value would be on the low side, as they are less popular wheels, and newer offerings are more desirable.

6 spokes on a 5 lug whaeel? I don't think so. Everything about wheels on most any car worth driving screams "multiple of 5".

If these are rare, it is definitely because they are not sought after. JMO

Yea, & those are in perfect shape, but doesn't look like he sold them.

Not my favorite wheel, but I would have to see them on a 993 to decide.

These used to be the hot lick for 993's actually anything techart was highly sought after,now maybe not
nearly as much unless you're seeking a somewhat retro look..
I had a set in black and yellow which I intended to use on an RS early chassis..sold it! Bert

They do not look "correct" for a 993. You will waste your time and effort. Personally I think they look awful on a 993.

Default Tech art on a 993

They did not look out of place on a 993.
