It is a great looking wheel ... a good substitute for 996 GT3 wheel...Too bad they will not be making anymore.

Thanks man, yea, OEM front bumper/side-skirts but the rear-bumper "winglets" are full carbon-fiber parts that bought from a Rennlister here (got lucky). Those are really nice C-F parts, much lighter than OEM pieces and still look new today after more than 10 years on the car. You can't really see in the Pic but those C-F winglets are unpainted, just clear-coated, so up-close you can see the cool C-F weaves raw texture. Thanks, cheers,

It's like the Alpina wheel in the e30 world....A staggered set of 16x7 and 16x8 in 4x100 bolt pattern are just shy of $5k a set! I've been hoarding them for years....
Yes! i have a set of 16x7 alpinas on my e30. Bought then back in 05 on fleabay for 1500. The need a refinish again... i would have loved to get a staggered set...

the GT3 wheel is my fav for the 996

Well....I do have four extra 16x8's stashed away. Was going to put a set on the front but it didn't look right. Not sure what I'll ever do with them....

I also like the GT3 wheels better.
The one 966 TTS I tried getting had them from factory, no records on the car plus wouldn’t deal on price but loved the look of it.

Ninewonwon, I'm curious, did Rose Passion deliver? If so, how is the quality and fit? I'm considering purchasing but would like some feedback from another customer of theirs if possible. Thanks!
