Hey fellow Cheesehead! Just a suggestion but I would post some pics and give the tire sizes. If you don't you might have them for next winter too.

GLWS!

I AM SELLING FOUR 17 INCH PORSCHE AFTERMARKET WHEELS. THEY ARE 7X17 AND 8X17. I PUT THEM ON MY 2003 PORSCHE 996 LAST WINTER. THEY WERE DRIVEN A TOTAL OF ABOUT THREE THOUSAND MILES. I PUT THESE VREDESTEIN TIRES ON NEW LAST OCTOBER. THESE ARE RATED THE BEST WINTER TIRES IN ALL OF EUROPE. I HAVE INCLUDED SOME OF THE DETAILS. FOR MORE ONFO GO TO WWW.VREDESTEIN.COM. NEW TIRES HAVE A TREAD DEPTH MEASUREMENT OF 11/32TH'S OF AN INCH. THE FRONTS CURRENTLY MEASURE AT 10/32TH'S AND THE REARS MEASURE AT 9/32TH'S. THE SIZES ARE 205/50/17 AND 255/40/17. THEY ARE UNBELIEVABLE IN WINTER CONDITIONS-I LIVE IN WISCON SIN. THE TIRES WILL BE SHIPPED AT COST SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE. YOUR

STOCK WHEEL BOLTS WORK PERFECT.




DRIVE THAT PORSCHE ALL YEAR LONG THANKS TO TIRES LIKE THESE-READY TO BOLT ON.





The Wintrac xtreme is the first winter tyre to be developed in partnership with Giugiaro Design. Aggressive, firm lines give the W-shaped tread its powerful appeal. Sipe technology was a priority for Vredestein in the design of the Wintrac xtreme. Optimum Silica ProcessingTM (OSPTM) technology is incorporated in the fabrication of the tread compound, enhancing the winter performance and improving grip on wet surfaces. In addition, the equal distribution of pressure across the contact area ensures an even wear pattern, and low noise levels throughout the life-span of the tyre.
