Default Anyone want to trade wheels?

I know this may sound stupid, but I have great wheels but aren't crazy about them on this car due to the front nose and side skirts.

Not sure if I want to trade but may be interested for the right wheel?

Maybe Turbo Twists?

Mine are 18" and I'd want to stay with that size.

Would have to be local becaue I can't be without my car.

I know...sounds dumb and probably no one would want to do this but I thought I'd throw it out there.

One of the front wheels has a ding in it.

If I get that far I'd send you a close up.

Here's a picture.

Your Carrera Lightweights are one of the lightest OEM rims (made by BBS too) at around 20.5 pounds in the front and 22.5 pounds in the rear. Great for DE and tracking.

You should have no problem trading.

I upgraded mine to the Carrera IVs but kept my old Lightweights.

What would look badass and are the perfect offsets are the set of Sport Techno's from my Turbo that I am selling. I am not interested in a trade but your wheels are ones that many people want especially the 993 crowd.

I'll trade as I have a different wheel you might like? Sport classic II they're called, and they're factory wheels for a C2.

If you want to trade, I could do that but I'm not local; I could always send you my wheels first, then you send yours so you're not without your car. That work? Send me a PM if interested.

LVDell, how much do you want for the Sport Technos? Do you have pix? What do you think I can get for mine?

Garrett, I like your wheels, do you have more pix?

I would trade these wheels for yours or sell them outright. On a trade I could send you the wheels, you have your tires switched and send your wheels back.

Doug, I like your wheels. Are they true? Are they staggard sizes?

What brand are they. They have some scuffs, can I get pics of all four?

I'll send you pics of all four of mine tomorrow. One has a nick in it but is true.

I am not sure on the manufacturer of these wheels. I bought them used about 4 years ago. Ran them for a while and then went in a different direction. The sizes are 8.5"x18" ET 52 and 10"x18" ET 48. I have lots of pics, front back. etc. of each wheel. PM me an email address and I will send you the pics.

Here are some close ups of my wheels.

One has a little gash but it doesn't effect the performance of the wheel.
