Yes what did you pay for them? I'll likely have a set for sale shortly...

OEM TT wheels... literally not a single scratch on them (prior owner said he used them for less than 250 miles)... $1600 shipped to my house.

OK that's about what I figured. Mine are MINT too. Thanks for sharing - they are impressive in person.

Dutchie,

Very nice indeed. I have the Carrera Sport, adored by many here as the best OEM wheels for the 997. I'm not sure I agree. I like them, and wouldn't change them, but these TT wheels are by far my favorites. If they look good on a TT, then they have to look equally good on a 4S. Envious!

Those wheels make almost everything look good. We currently have a set on our 2009 Turbo, and I'm not sure what would look better.



Do you have Center Caps for yours?

If those came off of a Turbo, will the offsets work on your car? Porsche also made OEM Turbo wheels for narrow body 997, with the proper offsets. I had a set on my old 997S coupe. Very nice wheels.

That's what I've got on mine now. I am very tempted to just hang onto them as track wheels. Not only are they forged, they're made by BBS.
