Default FS: genuine RUF 18" Porsche 993 CHROME wheels + center caps - front + rear - $2100

For sale: complete set of used, genuine RUF 18" wheels + center caps with factory chrome finish, made by OZ, no longer available from RUF.

2 front rims - 18" x 8.5" ET58
2 rear rims - 18" x 10" ET66

These are a perfect fit on a narrow body Porsche 993. If you want to fit them on a wide body 993 (S, 4s, TT), you will need 28 mm spacers for the rear.

Note that the original chrome has delaminated in two of the center caps and parts of two of the rims, and there is some localized road rash. This set should be plasti-dipped (my original intention) or professionally refinished for showroom quality.

Current market value of a set in good condition is $3500 USD. These are for sale at $2100 USD or best reasonable offer.

Here's the catch -- LOCAL BUYER ONLY -- I will NOT ship under any circumstances:
1) I don't have the time or resources/experience to pack these adequately to ensure they are not damaged in transit
2) the condition of the wheels (especially the de-chromed sections) should be assessed by the buyer first-hand

The wheels are located in Vancouver, Canada and I will work with any buyer who wants to have a local Rennlister or friend inspect the wheels if you are buying remotely. That person can then pack and ship the wheels to you as necessary.

Please pm or e-mail me for more details or photos: 71volvo@gmail.com

It is difficult to tell from the photos, but that appears to be powder coat. If that is red paint or powder coat underneath, it's definitely powder coat.

I think you could sell these if you would be willing to ship. The wheels are a good deal at your price. Offer to take them to a UPS store or something and have the buyer pay the actual costs.

OP/seller here. I am open to this option however the delaminating chrome sections ought to be inspected first hand. I don't want a disgruntled buyer complaining after purchasing that the wheels are not as described. To that end, I have higher resolution photos ready to send to those interested.

Shoot, anyone can see these wheels are going to have to be refinished. I don't think they'd need any more details other than knowing the wheels are true and that there are no structural issues. If I were in the market, I'd buy them.

The only other thing you could do is check and see what it would take to get that chrome removed so they could be refinished.

The RUF 18" wheels have just sold locally for $1800 CAD = $1726 USD at today's exchange rate. Looking forward to seeing them refinished on the buyer's car in the Spring!
