Default New Member (NY) - 2000 Porsche 996 Coupe 6 spd.

Hey everyone, new to the forums here so i'm just introducing myself. Just recently bought my dads Porsche 911, he got it when it had around 11k miles on it and now there is only aroun 19k miles on it. It is an mazing car and definitely a huge upgrade from my old Shinka Rx-8 (even though that car was a lot of fun).

Anyway, i'm new to the forums so i guarantee i'll have plenty of rookie questions and ill try my best to research before posting.

2000 911 996 coupe 6 spd
Factory Aero kit
Carbon fiber interior (steering wheel, shift ****, center consol, around radio)

Not sure on name or specs of the wheels or spoiler so if anyone could let me know that would be great. Also the measurements for the center caps for the wheels.

Also if anyone has the measurement for lug nuts that would also help out.

Front spoiler is factory. Mine is the exact same and I ordered it that way (from the factory).

Wheels look like Sport Classic II's to me.

If the wheels are OEM (not reproduction) the lug nuts are probably 14mm x 1.5, R14 ball seat. Length is sometimes measured differently (Threads to ball seat, threads to bolt head, overall) but your bolts are likely 28mm shank length (to ball seat) unless somebody has previously installed spacers and longer bolts.

I love the full carbon interior and light grey leather. Such a great combo.

I would get some leather conditioner on the seats. That driver's seat looks rough for 19k miles in the picture. May just be lighting though. Nice car!

Thanks for all the info guys. Yeah the wheels are a pain to clean. I got some mothers wheel cleaner that did a pretty good job though (kinda pricey). Love the car so far and gona detail it first thing tomorrow, maybe take some better pictures.

Nice looking 996 venom914, welcome to Rennlist. Post some pics of your 914 as well. Didi your Dad purchase another Porsche after selling his 911 to you?

Maybe it's the lighting in the pic, made it look like 2 parts to me.
