Default FS/FT: 18" BBS RE - Fully forged 1-piece wheels. $2000 obo

Front: 18 x 8.5 (56mm offset)
Rear: 18 x 10 (65mm offset)

These are $2772 from tirerack.com before shipping.
Asking price: $2000 obo, located in the Bay Area, Ca.

These are about one year old, street wheels, less than 7500 miles on them. Three wheels are perfect. One rear wheel has VERY MINOR curb rash, i mean very minor. Only the paint is chipped. I will try to take pictures this weekend of the curb rash. Wheels come without tires.

I'm also looking for some parts for my car that I'm willing to take as partial trade. Things I'm looking for:

1. 993 Turbo front bumper
2. 993 OEM rear spoiler complete with lid, grill and motor (preferably split grill)
3. 993 RS clutch and lightweight flywheel
4. OEM blue leather upper and lower dash pieces and other trim in blue or light grey leather.

Here's a picture of them on my car:

Very nice. Sure wish they would fit my GT3. Those are wheels I would love for the track. Best of luck with your sale.

This is a very good deal, someone should jump on it before I get a spare set. These wheels are fantastic!

These don't fit a 996 GT3? Isn't this size and spec a perfect fitment for narrowbody 996's?

While the size and specs would work great for a (non-GT) narrow body car like my 996CAB they are not even close to the specs of the GT3. Trust me, I wish they were. The front could be fixed with a spacer although not optimal. The biggest issue is the rear wheel size.

GT3:
Front 8.5" et40
Rear 11" et63

Ohhh.....i see. I wasn't aware the GT3 had 11" width wheels in the rear. That's a lot of wheel. What's the tire size? 305/30/18?

Factory tire is 295 but the more optimal size on a 11" rim is 305. I run 315's on the track (NT-01) and 295's on the street (PS2's). If your rear was 11" I would "make them work"! Oh well. Best ofluck though. Somebody will get a great set of wheels at a great price.

Will these fit on a Wide Body 993 like a C4S. They look to be the same size as my factory turbo twists. Now I can't remember if I have 8's or 9' in the front. I thought they are 8's and 10's.

You'll need spacers in the rear to bring the offset down to the stock offset (40mm i think). It's no big deal though, Ruf wheels require spacers on the widebody cars as well.
