Default Looking for 18X8 et 50 Turbo front hollow spoke - got 'em

No longer looking - they are in transit from ISSEPS. Thanks,


Looking to buy one (or maybe 2) of the later model twin turbo hollow spoke front wheels (2001 & later 996). Must be true and not damaged - except for cosmetic appearance. Want to use for track wheels. part number is 996.362.136.04. Back side of spokes is slightly rounded, not flat with grooves!

Please send a PM if you have some.

Gary Knox

I bought my 996 Turbo nearly 2 years ago. I had no problem finding very good original 18x8 and 18x11 Technology wheels on ebay. Have you looked there?

I got a full set of hollow spokes off craigslist for $500 last March.

They were straight and cosmetically perfect.

I checked pretty regularly for a few months and then negotiated.

They come up from time to time in my area - northwest suburbs of Chicago.

IMO, craigslist is the wrong place to advertise them to get a good cross-section of demand, so as a buyer, once you find a set advertised, you're probably not competing against a lot of other buyers.

Thanks for advice......I'll check occaisionally....could use another set.
Looks like the 'Left Coast' always has them.....challenge is finding here in Midwest or a close ship.
I see a set in Detroit for $650 but also appears they may be early solids.

I just replaced the OEM wheels on my 2004 TT X50 Cab with a set of Champion wheels. They have only 25,000 miles on them and are in great shape. The Champion wheels came in factory boxes which I used to store the OEM wheels. They are safe to ship. I also have the Champion center caps if you need them. Let me know if you're still looking for a set of wheels.

If Gary is not interested or already found another set (his post) I am also looking for a set.

Are the OEM wheels Hollow spoke? Provide the part numbers if you can please.
Where are you located?

Isseps,
Thanks again for the info on the wheels, and for the professional approach for selling them to me. Best wishes to you and your family for a Happy 2010.
