SOLD


7/29/18 - Price Drop to $2,800. I'll also sells wheels alone for $2,500 if you want me to dismount tires and ship just the wheels.

I have decided that I am no longer going to track my RS for a variety of reasons. I had a couple fun events but I have many other hobbies and this one doesn't align very well with my family and their interests. For sale here is a set of 18" forged wheels made custom for a 997.1 RS with 5-lug for widebody.

I measured the wheels myself:
Front 9x18" +50mm offset
Rear 12x18" +41mm offset

They were custom made by Fikse specifically for a 997.1 RS and they fit perfectly including OVER PCCBs. You can see in the later pictures some shots of the wheels mounted to my car showing fitment. I have no rubbing issues with an aggressive street alignment. Tires are Hoosier R7 DOT track/race radials in 245/35-18 and 315/30-18. They fit fine and are very close to original rolling diameter of stock tires so no issues with ABS or DSC etc. There is just no drama - the wheels were made custom for the car and the tires fit perfectly and you just bolt them up and go. They are balanced and ready to run.

Price: $2,500 firm net to me. You cover shipping or pickup in Annapolis, MD. If you want to use a payment method that has fees you can cover the fees.
I will provide materials and labor to palletize the wheels with proper protection and banding and arrange for truck freight service. It should also be possible to ship them one at a time view UPS or FedEx ground service but that may be just as expensive or more. If you can't receive a pallet at home or work you can have the palletized freight held at the local depot for whatever trucking line we use (like Old Dominion for example.). They you just go to their terminal and pickup the shipment by breaking it down and taking the loose wheels/tires.

The Fikse model is Contour C113 (they are 13 spoke). From Fikse: "The Contour series of wheels, which was originally designed for and proven in the most demanding racing environments, is now available for your street vehicle. Initially used only on Daytona Prototypes, this series of wheels has been re-worked to provide the serious street and track racer an opportunity to push the limits."

I don't know the weight other than they are much lighter than OEM.

Wheels are in very good condition with only a few track events on them. The detailed pictures below should tell the story. The tires mounted were used for one event and have plenty of life left. They are stored indoors in my basement to keep them warm/safe for more use. The wheels may have a small mark here or there but no notable scratches, gouges, dents, scuffs, or bends of any kind. If anything looks like a mark or damage in the photos check another view because the reflections make some highlights appear around the spokes. The wheels are straight and true and balance no problem. Tires are "dry mounted" by guys who know what they are doing with track setups.

I'm not sure what else I can say so on to the pictures.

gawd...wonder if these will fit my non-RS GT3...

I am no expert but I seriously doubt it. 315 is a lot of meat even in the wide fenders.

This should be a easy buy for a .1 RS owner as they are just right without any monkeying around.

LooseMarble

No interest? I thought this would be an easy sell. Great set of turn-key track wheels for a 5-lug RS owner.

As the tires have so much life in them I think it makes more sense to leave them mounted up for a buyer to use as a set. Thanks for the interest.

I measured the wheels and updated the original posting:

Front 9x18" +50mm offset
Rear 12x18" +41mm offset

What a great deal.

I run Fikse on my 996 GT3 and they are both lighter and have held up well on the street.

LooseMarble

Well, since there are no takers for the set I guess I'm open to this option. $2,500.

surlynkid

the fronts will fit fine as is. the 315 rears are no problem even with lowered cars, but not on those wheels. you need a different rear offset. ET59 is what I have from Forgeline in 18x12 with 315/30-18.

LooseMarble

Still available. Would like to see someone get some use from these this season.

Fritz Flynn

Great deal!

wish they fit my car

LooseMarble

still available.

LooseMarble

Bump for price reduction. I thought price was very fair but no takers so trying it a little lower.

LooseMarble

Hey boochook. I've decided I will sell without tires for $2,500. Can meet you half way from Annapolis to Dulles or I'll buy you a been in Annap if you schlep all the way over.
