I can believe they ran out of 996 #408's, sure!

The 996 #408's were were the lightest 18" wheels ever offered by Porsche, they were only offered on the early-build 1999's, and that pre-production run on the 993 assembly line only lasted a few months. Thus it's wholly believable that 996 #408's sold out quickly

Conversely, the 993 #408's are at least 5LBS heavier (total), and were sold for many years; even through dealers long after 993 production ended

07/98 was the very tail end of "early-build 99" production, and it's not surprising at all the factory may have fitted the leftover heavier 993 version wheels on the very last of the #408 optioned early 996's. But that doesn't make it correct

Just demonstrates Porsche was always very shrewd

Maybe like @islaTurbine said, it was not as precise as we would like to think on the assembly line in Stuttgart, and they ran out of B’s and had to use A’s, or someone grabbed from the wrong bin.

yup; keeping it separate as I know they’re hard today come by and want to make sure it goes to someone that will actually use it. Maybe whomever buys it, but didn’t want to just throw it in and have the buyer toss it aside.

Yeah the high bidder wasn’t super far off the reserve so the car is heading to Kansas soon.

Cars like that make me wonder if the owner fought to get it totaled.

Gorgeous car. I texted the owner and he said it has 155k on the clock. He’s out a ton of dough into it though.
