Default ADVAN RS rims

hey how do you guys think a pair of these CLICK HERE would look like on my car. i could get a good deal on them and i think they might look pretty good. also is there an offset that works for the car. thanks in advance.

Those wheels look good to me but... they will not fit on your car for two reasons:

1) the bolt pattern is wrong. These wheels have a 5 x 114.5mm pattern and you need 5 x 130mm patern.

2) the offset is wrong. These wheels 18" x 10' (width) come in 35mm, 25mm or 15mm offset. The 996 C2 rear wheel is 18" x 10" with 65mm offset. Even the 35mm offset in these wheels would EXTEND almost 1 1/4" farther out than Porsche wheels.

If you like that wheel look, you might want to check out BSA wheels. Their 215A style is similar to the wheel you posted. http://www.bsa.com.my/web/newfproduct_full.htm

thanks for the quick reply. i wasn't sure if they would fit so now i know they won't... but i also now know what to look for in bolt pattern and offest also forgot to add the bsa rims look really nice im just kind of worried about quality since i have never heard of them..... and each rim cost only about 200 bucks. which doesn't mean right away that they suck but it still makes me kind of iffy

Kinesis F110 one piece forged is very similar and will fit. Beautiful rim IMHO.

Oscypek - Not sure about the BSA quality either. Have you considered the Porsche OEM Sport Design wheels? They have a 10-spoke pattern and, IMO, are very nice looking.

kevinrubin = I TOTALLY concur that he Kinesis F110 wheels are gorgeous. In fact, they are my most favorite wheel. However, they only come in 19" size and are very expensive ($$$$$$).

Oscypek,

If you are interested in the Porsche Sport Design wheels, let me know. I have a set with tires potentially available... I am also in the Chicagoland area...

Cheers,


Itradem
