Hello-

Does anyone have a set of either style for a 996 narrow body?

6 months ago I couldn't give away my set of 19" RG5 on this board. Ended up selling them on Ebay for $1400 including new rear tires!

They do look great. Good luck with your search.

I just got off of the phone with them (wheelenhancement). They do not have anything in stock and nothing is available at Champion. They could not give me an idea if or when they will be available. Looks like I need to find a used set in good condition.

Yep. If everything goes well, the PPI and transport pickup will happen today.

IMHO works wheels are just not in the same league with Champions.

Champion doesn't make NB fitment RG5's anymore. You can only get them used. I'm not sure about other Champion models.

That is exactly what I was told by Wheel Enhancement.
