Default Champion RS98 for Widebody - Available

I just received an as-new set of Champion RS98s that were sold as 19x8.5 et 53 front and 19x11.5 et 62 rear. What arrived is clearly not et 62 - these are widebody offsets, so they won't work optimally with my C2S. Is anyone here interested in the set of wheels and TPMS? I'll keep the 235/295 PS2s to make it easier to ship - anyway, you'd probably want PSC or 305 PS2s with these. If interested, PM me and we'll talk about a fair price.

Edit: I just went to storage and pulled 1 front and 1 rear. The fronts are actually 19x8.5 et 53 and the rears 19x11.5 et 44, which would explain why they stick out so much on my narrowbody.

Ron: See my earlier reply to your first email. Agree-I said <50mm offset on rears............I'd take them back and demand a refund-there's no excuse for this from a dealer like Champion.

Please, don't spread anything negative about Champion - I never said I bought them from them.

Just curious Ron....why can't you exchange them for the correct rears or return them for a refund? Its not fair that you should be stuck with'em...

For anyone looking to buy them, they are great wheels. I had a set of RS98s before my F110s and loved'em....they are soo freakin light and easy to clean.

I bought these from a guy who bought them from Champion - so I can't just swap. Champion offered to take them in exchange, but that costs $. I could return them to the guy that sold them to me, but that's a hassle too with shipping, etc. So, I'm giving it a try to find a new home for them...

P.S. They really are amazing wheels - I was surprised at how light they are compared with Lobster Claws (which are the lightest of all Porsche OEM wheels). I would think anyone with a Turbo or RS (or any widebody) would really enjoy these...

P.P.S. I listed these in the classifieds and the For Sale forum...
