Default FS: 997 tt wheels and tires

just bought these and am putting them up for sale since i got another set of champion wheels.
the wheels are as new and will be mounted with brand new pirelli rosso tires.
i have someone trading me his lobsterforks and cash on monday but figured i might as well see if there is any interest here so i wont have to get an extra set of wheels.

If you get the lobster forks let me know. I need a set of wheels for the track. Thanks!

i will definitely let you know, and it looks like that is what i will end up with.
if you'd like I can also get them powdercoated for you unless if you have a hookup over there in Fl. i think the widebody offsets look great on the narrow cars.
I am currently getting my champion centers powdercoated...

That might be a great idea as these would be my track wheels. I wonder how the offset will work on my C2S?

front is the same offset, and rear is 51 so it is sitting just a few mm inside the fender. i posted pics of how the turbo wheels look on my car, same offset, these have 305 tires, if you use 295's it'll be less aggressive obviously

I use 305/30/19 PS2's...does the 51 offset move the wheel out more or in more?

51mm moves the wheel out.

Thanks,

I took off my wheels and dropped them off, she did it for $65 per wheel, did an excellent job, there were so many flat black colors, but i think i chose the best one.

definitely, but could be many factors, are they the same tires? michelin seems the best to me.
also you probably went from 295's to 305's, the wider tracke (lower offsets) probably helps too...
