Look like SSR GT3 wheels, here are them in 18 inches.

I used to run those. They came with the car when I bought it. No real issues for me except that they were 19's. I went back to 18's and the car rides much better. 19 was just a bit too aggressive for my little 996. The ones in your picture may be SSR knock off's. SSR's will have five little holes near the lugs.

Thanks Socalgt3!

I found out the ones I was looking to buy are Elite custom wheels.
They may be SSR Gt3 replicas in19"

Anyone has them on a seal gray 996?

Thanx

Here are my old ones in 19" on silver. They really fill out the wheel wells. I had just a tad of rubbing on the fronts at full deflection.

Gator996,

What kind of suspension were you running when you had them on?

Totally stock suspension. I could see on the front fender well liner that some rubbing had been occurring. I never heard nor felt it but it was touching a tad.

Funny thing about the 19's. I know that Porsche speedometers are off by a few miles per hour. With those wheels, my speedo was spot on compared to my gps. Now that I have gone back to factory spec 18's, my speedo is off by 4 mph. Not a big deal but constant math while I am driving!
