What are my wheels worth?
I have some aftermarket Kinesis wheels on my '99 996 and am considering going back to stock wheels. My Kinesis wheels (K19R) are 8.5x19 up front with 235/35ZR19 tires and 11x19 in the back with 305/25ZR19 tires. All 4 tires are Pirelli PZero's. The front tires are in good shape but the rear tires probably have about half the tread left. There's only one small spot of curb rash on one of the rear tires.
I have been really happy with them, just thinking maybe time for some change. However I not sure what to list them for. Thanks

914, I recently bought the same wheels in 18 inch sizes. I paid about $1750 (used without tires) and had to pay an additional $450 to have two of them powdercoated, to match the others. Have you considered having yours painted or powdercoated black? They would look stunning on your car. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer looking and lighter wheel. Since you already have the polished lip, you could do the centers in black or white and they would look fantastic on your car.

Mark, I do like your darkened center caps. I don't know if I would like the look of the black wheen on a white car. I like my gunmetal grey look though. Can you get Porsche center caps to fit Kinesis wheels? These wheels have been great for a couple of years (still have the hefty receipt), but was just thinking of some change.

it'd be safe to list them at about $2500 plus shipping and accept offers no lower than $2400.
-Quality wheels
-Perfect narrowbody fitment
The only issue is if you have any problems, I'm not sure whether Kinesis has replacements since they've been bought out by Lexani.
And unless you want to go smaller wheels, I'm not sure how much better you can do with wheels unless you just want a different look.
P.S. Porsche centercaps only look ok with stock wheels; else, it's just too many logos

914, those wheels look fantastic on your white car. Here is what I was talking about, if you want a change. You would be hard pressed to find nicer wheels for your car (same as Ben said). Wheel Enhancement had Kinesis parts in stock...$15 for a new center cap.
You have already acheived wheel perfection. I would look at a OEM MK1 aero kit for your change.
