Default FS: Wheels - Lightweight TR Motorsport 18x8.5, 18x10 996 NB fitment

Like new, were on car for < 200 miles. Sold 996, need different fitment for the 997.

Wheels are perfect - polished and painted (in between spokes) design.

Fronts are 8.5 x 18 ET 50, weigh ~ 20 lbs each

Rears are 10 x 18 ET 65, weigh ~ 21.6 lbs each

Bought at Tire Rack, paid $1,796 (have invoice).

Asking Price: $1,200 plus shipping. Continental US only, please. PM me or email bimmers218@***.net.

Thanks for looking,
Kurt

They look nice. What size tires go with your wheels?

Standard tire sizing would be 225 or 235/40/18 front; 285/30/18 rear. Other sizing may work, depending on a particular suspension set up.

Barn/Steve what wheels do you have on your 996 now? Just curious because I can't see your wheels on the avatar.

That's what I thought. I'd like to continue to use my 17" with snows mounted, and finally graduate to 18" wheels for summer tires. Was also interested in reducing wheel weight(unsprung weight) in the process. We'll see if it all works out.

I won't be mounting them on my car till next spring since I'm using my 17" twists with Blizzaks for the winter, so it may be awhile.
