Default What do you think of this wheel deal OEM 997 Turbo

Would these fit on my 996 4S without causing any sort of alignment problems?

http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ271765504

Front Rims - 235/35ZR19
Rear Rims - 305/30ZR19

Offset is:
Front - 56mm
Rear - 51mm


Also, I'm about to shoot him an offer, what do you think a fair price for these is? $3,000?

Thanks for the thoughts and advice!

Similar to this, but I think this is lowered...

Nope, thank god. Got a brunette for that seat!

I originally wanted deep dish rims, but can't make my mind on which. Now these came up and I am thinking of the re-sale value on them since their OEM. Would be fine I guess... Then there's the thought of replica's... Not sure if I wanna go that route...

Hmmm tough.

You can get knockoff versions of those wheels at various places on bay for $1500. They look identical.

That's probably what I'm going to do because I love these rims too!

Wrong size tires. You don't want to run those on your awd system unless of course you don't are about your front diff

Also, what are the wheel widths? From the looks of it and if they are standard wide body widths of 8 and 11 then you will also need spacers

here's a set of 4 brand new 19s for a wide body for $669

I've seen them for $599/4 in 18 or 19.

At that price I might buy a set te experiment with, paint or powder coat semi gloss black or ???

So if I want to run 19"s on my car, what would the appropriate dimensions be? I know there is some flex to this, but I don't want to get into diff problems, or spacers and suspension components.

?
