Default 996 4S wheels

Just bought a 996 4S and the Turbo II wheels could do with a refurb. So I was thinking, what is the best looking 18" if I just wanted to replace them? I've seen some Porsche Sport Techno wheels for sale that look pretty good.

GT3 wheels on a 4S look sweet, my slate grey Turbo has the Sport Technos, also very nice.

I also tried 997 S Lobter 19"s but like the sport technos better

@ Rich - did you sell the 964 Turbo? Funny coincidence, I also own a 996 4S now, having sold the 964 ;-)

My 4S had Technos on it when I bought it. I like them but have been eyeballing some lighter weight track focused wheels. Too bad you are in Germany or maybe we could make a deal

Best looking IMHO Factory Porsche 996 18" Widebody Wheels are WB GT3 Wheels





Very very rare to come by, but there is a Black Set For Sale in the Classifieds on Here :P

OP, Ilko is selling the GT3 widebody wheels in for parts forum. Painted black even...

Zook, what do you think a used set is worth these days? weights are 23F/27R from Ilkos post... not bad

I paid $1450 Shipped with Tires last April from a member on 6speed and sold the tires for $400 http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/a...ml#post3137264

Actully my car came with GT3 Wheels from Factory when i bought her in 2006, i sold the Wheels and Tires for $2500 back then 2006. http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/a...area-only.html
Biggest Mistake i made, thankfully i found the Set above last year and jumped on it.

I think ilko is asking on the High Side based on the Condition and without Tires.
But Whatever i dont need to buy them i already got mine so i dont care what he sells it for

Dotframe, If you are over 5'8" look at the GMG bars... otherwise you will not be able to recline your seat and if you are over 5'10 your helmet will be pinned to your headliner. Ask me how I know..

Back on topic, I really like the GT3 wheels but for the $ hollow spokes cant be beat. Now if you want to spend some dough on aftermarket wheels we would be glad to help
