Default 19 inch Champion wheels & tires for 996 Widebody on Ebay for $1,500

I just saw this bargain and wanted to pass it on. These are a steal. Ebay item number 360037216810. I do not know this seller and have no interest in this.

I looked at these again and saw that they are stamped "Italy" and "OZ". I don't know if Champion contracts with OZ to make their wheels. Whether they are Champion or OZ, I would buy them for track wheels if they were the right size for my car.

I wouldn't buy them cuz I don't trust a seller that doesn't know wtf it is that they're selling.

-They're OZ Superleggera III wheels, fully quality forged, Ti rivet bolts

-They don't even bother to list the width/offsets so you don't know if they're 12s (sweet) or regular 11s (bleh)

-They're scratched to ****

-$1500 is a crazy low price as these go for $1100 a wheel, but again, they're scratched like the owner had no sense for spacing; swapping out the rim parts will make you regret buying these in the first place as Tirerack is the sole reseller of OZ wheels in the USA now

They're not Champion wheels. They're OZ Superleggera wheels.

Still a good find and good price. Having the wheel refinished should cost around $800 or so. Not a bad deal overall.

it's a no deal for me if it's only 11s in the back which is probably very likely in this case since so many people settle for... mediocre.
and it's not that great of a deal dude.

i sold my MINT set for $2700 shipped.

$800 to refinish u say... you still have a refinished wheel esp on that beautifully polished lip with nice, OZ/Tirerack warranty backed clear coat... u know they've been fuqed with... and them tires ain't worth ****. run ps2s on your high performance 911 pls.

$2700 - $800 = $1900... so ~$400 delta for a set of mint OZ wheels with perfect fitment in 19x12s or far from perfect wheels .....

but yea it's not ez to find oz3s for sale so if you're really in love with these, then give it a whirl - i wouldn't
