Can somebody tell me what wheels these are? They're for sale locally, said to fit WB 997. TIA

I have never seen those exact style before. Looks something like a lexani 707 or 709.

That being said, and just my personal opinion, those are going to ruin the beautiful look of a 997. The convex centers, flat flared spokes, and exposed bolts that don't continue all the way around, and flat barrels, are all of an older, more luxury car or SUV style. They will look very dated and out of place on the sleek lines of the 997.

Plus they will be heavy.

Just my personal opinion (and I am often wrong). Lol

If you are still set on them, ask the guy to let you mount up a front and rear to see how it looks on the car. Take a few pics of them mounted, and then think it over.

No, not set at all. Popped up on local CL, maybe good back up for winter set up. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rch...225575537.html

I'm with halo - not an attractive wheel for a 997.

"said to fit WB 997" could mean different things. Wheels with offsets meant for NB 997's can be mounted on a WB 997 so you can say the fit. Likewise, wheels with offsets meant for WB 997's can be mounted on NB 997's so you can say that those fit too. As for the looks of the wheels, I agree with the previous comments but wheels are probably among the most subjective mods on these cars so get what looks good to you.
