Arrow FS: 996 WB Solid Spoke Turbo Twists [Snows?]

Pitching these as a set of snow or spare set of wheels for your WB 996.

Pretty close to flawless; no curb rash, no bends, no cracks, etc; ‘C4S’ center caps and generic valve stem included; stock color and finish.



$400 picked up

Priority will be given to order of PMs received.

They are beautiful, but if they are your 11x18 OEM wheels, they won't work as snows. There isn't a snow tire made that will fit them. The Porsche recommended rear wheels for snow tires on the C4S are 10x18.

Pirelli Snowsport 240 have a size that works fine. The only N-rated Porsche approved winter tires in the right size for a widebody 996 when using the 8x11 rear wheels. Fronts are 235/40/18, rear are 295/35/18. Slightly higher sidewall than the summer tires and the ride is a bit softer, but it works great in the white stuff. I've been using those for 3 winters.

Pirelli just discontinued the Snowsport 240. I'm not sure what the replacement tire is or what the sizing it yet.

Also, the Porsche C4S recommended winter tire is a 10", so they actually recommend changing wheels too.

Yeah... that's the ticket!

Did you put hollows on instead, or something totally different?

How can you tell if they are hollow or solid?

Hollows are smooth on the back of the spokes, and the valve stems are metal, typically.

I hit Enter by mistake. Will post up more pics shortly.
