Black 19" 997 Wheels and Tires (SOLD)
Well, the 996 turbo is gone and I'm selling all my parts. These are 19" 997 wheels that I had professionally finished by Trans Wheel. Both the front and rear of the wheels have been finished. The wheels are perfect and have no curb rash, nicks, or otherwise.
Front: 8 x 19 ET 57
Rear: 11 x 19 ET 67
The pictures (flash) make the finish look glossy, but it's really more of a flat to semi gloss finish in person. Trans Wheel would not paint the center caps for me, so I did it myself. While not a perfect match, they're pretty close.
The tires are Michelin Pilot Sports in 235/35 and 305/30 From the pictures you'll see the tires have plenty of tread left at approximately 6/32's remaining (brand new is 8/32's).
In order to run these on my 996 turbo I used spacers front and rear. I don't remember the exact size at the moment, and they're not in front of me to measure, but I do remember I sized them so the net offset was 6mm more towards the fender than stock turbo twists. I was running PSS9's lowered and had no rubbing issues.
The price is 1800.00 and includes wheels, tires, center caps, spacers and longer bolts for the spacers. Buyer pays shipping and cost should be around 25.00 - 30.00 per for UPS ground in the US. Please PM me if you're interested or if you want more details.

I had a feeling this would be asked sooner or later. When I originally posted these for sale I looked for pictures I'd taken in the past to include as well. For the life of me I can't find them anywhere. 
Needless to say, I didn't think to take any prior to taking the wheels off when I sold the car, as it didn't even occur to me.
I know this is subjective, but I think they looked awesome! As I mentioned, I sized the spacers to push the wheels out 6mm towards the fender over stock, so they end up just inside the fender edge. I was also running PSS9's, set quite low, and never had any rubbing issues. This sizing of spacers / offset will of course be the same if you where to mount these on a 996 Turbo or C4S. Sorry I couldn't provide you with any pictures and please let me know if you have any other questions.

Painted. I had them done by these people:
http://www.transwheel.com/
It's a thick, durable, baked on finish just like a quality OEM finish. As you can see, no issues with chipping, peeling, flaking, oxidizing, brake dust pitting, etc. in the few years since they've been done. Simple soap and water to clean up and all is good.
