i'd be willing to bet it's a wrap. you can tell the rear wing and engine lid is shiny, so if you were to paint the car matte i can't imagine why you wouldn't do that part as well.

I’ve been contemplating the 18” Fuchfelge on my car, but with the silver spokes...I do really love the BBS sport classic II’s though (even though they’re a pita to keep clean)

Who refinished your wheels? I have a set of these wheels that originally had chrome centers, the previous owner of the car plastic dipped the center in black. I think the look OK, but not great and the rim is stained. I would like them refinished.

I have no idea what these wheels are, my car came with them and a set of hollow turbo twists.

Imo, gt3 8.5 and 11's on NB. That said, anybody have a set they want to sell? I have a set of Carrera II 5 spoke 18 X 8/10 and some 15 X 7/8 Fuchs for trade....

OEM = GT3 18" or MY02's are the best of 18's on a 996 hands down.
Aftermarket those HRE P40's are pretty sick.


Any aftermarket wheel with a lip makes 18's look tiny.

Hello everybody,

I am in the search for a spare kit of 18"s for my C4S (I am running now on 19"s Champions).
The ones that I like more are the 18" Twist Turbo look originals for the C4S and the Thechno's optionals. I see that some of you have them as spare. If you are interested in selling some of them, just let me know.

Thanks!

Hello All,

Does anyone know the correct offset for 2004 Porsche 996 C4S with O.Z. Alleggerita HLT? I would like 18 x 8.5 in the front and 18 x 11 in the rear. Would prefer to stay away from spacers. What would my offsets be? Looking for a set for quite a while now.

Thank you.
