He’s been in contact already about shipping details so we’ll see what happens.
If he has 3 more at that price though, I’d be buying them too 😂

The “B” option (for 996 #408 9” width) is not pictured. I would assume these are the “A” (993 10” wide) version until I saw evidence otherwise.
Not that $1,250 isn’t a decent price for the 993 version NB Hollow Spokes, and they will fit 996 C2. They just aren’t the 996 #408 option unless 9” width (“B” version) is marked.
And of course if these are authentic “B” 996 #408’s this is the steal of the new year!!

10” rears are much more common; $2K is about the going price. So $1,250 is a steal even for those.
However, if these are in fact the 996 9” rear #408’s this is an absurd steal. Obviously in that case the seller didn’t know what he had.
Only authentic set of the 9” #408’s I’ve personally ever seen for sale was in Germany for $5K.
So these are either a steal, or an absurd steal. Can’t go wrong either way.

Last week I took delivery of a MY1999 (build date 3/98) with factory option code 408s in ocean blue over savannah beige from southern CA. It’s my grail 996 and I love it so much.

@GarrettSR5 sorry if I scooped it, I figured you had passed since you posted the link.
Wheels have shipped. They were from his 38k mile 7/98 build Ocean Blue metallic coupe with the 408 option. I did offer to buy the car, but he said he wasn’t selling at the moment.
Since he was parting with the wheels, I asked about lights and managed to acquire both the amber headlights and tail lights as well as he had already swapped them out.
I’ll be able to bring my silver 5/98 aero kit back to factory amber spec, plus some really nice wheels.
Christmas definitely came early this year for me.

I hope he never sells the car as he's apparently given up most of its unique parts lol

Now you see why all the #408's are "missing". Dude you swooped down like a rabid vulture and stole everything that poor guy had but the build sticker. "Not that there's anything wrong with that"
Only a matter of time before he contacts you again
To beg
