Default 996 wheels

Does any one know which model wheels these are ?
I just got them off a guy who had them as winter tires .
He had them on his c4s
The are 18"

Are they a factory wheel ?

I think that's an inexpensive aftermarket wheel. I think there was a recent thread about someone getting a respray and adding new wheels that bought those. I will search. FWIW, I think they are very good looking wheels.

These are 18s but I think you are right

Even if they are aftermarket I paid less than the tires are worth .
The have about 1000km on the winter sports

Hadn't seen those wheels before, but I like 'em. Good deal there!

That would be user "Enemy" on here. It looked pretty decent in person too when I met up with him.

Yep. That was me. I just threw those on my 996 with some Sumis recently and I really like them. I plan to run them until the tires wear. I'll throw winter tires on these wheels, and get a nicer set of wheels for summer.

They look good , I put them on today.
Ready for winter not that I'll use it much in big snow as I have an outback Subi , but having winters is the law now on the TC highway .

They were on a c4s and are a half inch wider than my carrera 02 wheels ,

Good looking wheel for winter.. I would not recommend them for track use.. I also would not buy the sumis.
