Default Beautiful HRE wheels for sale - only $2500 for a quick sale!

I had these up for sale a couple of weeks ago, though they were still located at a friends house in Colorado & I couldn't answer all questions aked accurately... I had them shipped home last week & they are in even better condition than I remembered. I had them listed at a bargain $2500 initially, so I'll keep them at that price for a quick sale.

These came on a 997 C4s that I purchased & sold with the orginal wheels & are in fantastic condition - with a conservative estimate of 70% tread left on the Michelin PS2's (one rear has slightly uneven wear)

The wheels are chrome ($2000 option from HRE) and all are free from curb rash. I believe they also have the TPMS monitors as the car didn't display an warnings with these wheels, though I can't say for certain as I have not removed any of the tires. The offsets are perfect for the 997 "s" models & I believe will also fit 996 & 993 wide bodies.

I have taken a number of pictures & loaded them here:

Please PM me with any questions

What size tires come on the c4? Are the rears 295? Do you have any pictures of these on the car?

Not sure about the 996 and 993 fitment issues but if they came off a 997 4S the offset will not be perfect for a 997 2S but will work on a 997 C4, GT3 RS, GT2, both Targas and the Turbo.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of them on the car, which was a cobalt blue 2006 997 C4s. The tires are the stock Michelin pilot sports that originally came with the car (305 in the rear). The previous owner purchased the HRE's from Wheel Enhancement & I sold the car with stock wheels. He told me he paid over $8000 for these...

The HRE serial numbers are as follows:

Front - R5U19P386515 (19" diameter / offset 38 / inner barrel 6.5" / ourter rim 1.5")
Rear - R5U19P388030 (19" diameter / ofset 38 / inner barrel 8.0" / outer rim 3.0")

I think you're probably correct about them not fitting the C2s cars - these will most likely fit all 4 wheel drive wide body 911's. I have a friend with a 2005 996tt - I'll take a couple round to his house this evening & try them on to check proper fitment. My hope is for someone with a C4s to snap em up...

You don't mention the width of the wheels. For example, my Carrera Sports are 11.5 inches wide at the rear,--8.5 at the front. Any idea what their dry weight is?

Man...all personal preference of course, but they should simply ban chrome wheels on p-cars....

8.0 + 3.0 = 11 rear
6.5 + 1.5 = 8 front

As stated - offsets are 38 front & rear which really filled the arches nicely.

Weight - fronts are 24lb & rears 27lb (not including the tires, of course)

Thanks for the interest

Following much research by interested listers, these are not suitable for the regular "s" models as previously stated - only the 4s & turbo models...

Thanks to all for their research.
