I'm interested in your wheels also. I have a set of stock Cup wheels ready to go plus cash if interested.

I would love to swap either my 18" twists with new tires and/or my stock 17" cups for those.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all of the offers for trades. I am going to check with the dealership I purchased the car from (still not in my garage) to see if he can find a good set of trade wheels/tires for me. If that comes up negative, I'll be contacting you guys.

Be aware if you go for the larger 993 alternate wheel size the tires will give you very little turning roll-over warning when they near the end of their grip. I have the 18s on my car and I miss the 16s on my old 86' Carrera that gave lots of feedback. This is probably an issue on most any car.

Sweet car. Lower it and do 17" cups. That will look proper. IMO

Great looking wheels! Why do you even considering trading them off?

Those look like wheel dynamics knock-offs. Most of the bolt heads in the 2nd photo appear to be missing. Agree, get the dealer to replace w/ originals before taking delivery.

I was wondering about those bolt heads in the picture. I couldn't tell if it was my eyes deceiving me due to the picture size or that some of the bolts we're show only and not real.

lowered with 17in cup II wheel is a sweet look, but I do like the look of those. Congrats on the new car.

I have some 997 Carrera IIIs (Five Spoke) for sale. I also have the 17" cup wheels with Hankook v12s (The tires have a good amount of tread left) If you are interested in buying them. Just send me a PM

Yea those definitely look like replicas... Most of the bolt heads are missing in the second pic.
Edit: Oops, someone already said it.

I would bet wheel dynamics knock offs as well.
