Thread Starter
Are there any solid spoke wheels from 996 with:
18x8.5 - front ET-50
18x11 - rear ET-45
Trying to get more info from the seller but I want to spare myself a trip if I can.

As far as I know, there was only one spec for the WB 996 hollow spoke twists. The posts above are all correct - you could ask the seller to email high res pictures of the front & backside of each wheel; I think that the ET# is embossed on the face of each rim.

I am pretty confident that the easiest way to tell is the valve stem. When I bought my hollows, they needed new stems. While replacing them, I got to see how he wheels are made and it is impossible for a hollow wheel to have or fit a working regular rubber valve stem. On the other hand, the way the metal valve stem is made for the hollows also makes it (the stem) impossible to work on a solid spoke wheel. I hope this helps and I only use the word "impossible" if you are talking about factory parts. Good luck with the wheels.
