Default MINT set of Fikse Profil5, 19x8.5 & 19x11 w/tires

I have decided to return to 18 inch wheels on my 993 and that makes my beautiful 19 inch Fikse “Profil5” wheels surplus at this point. They are 19x8.5 up front with a offset of 44mm and 19x11 in the back with an offset of 51mm. They have nearly new Hankook Ventus V12’s mounted and balanced on them and ready to run.

I bought these wheels, brand new, from Pacific Western Motorsport (an Authorized Fikse Dealer) and had them professionally paint the wheel centers in Porsche Arctic Silver and polish the lips. It turned out to be a stunning combination and I wouldn’t change a thing about them at this point. They have been on my car for almost 2 years at this point and in that time, the centers have been waxed 4 times and the lips have been maintained with Mother’s Aluminum Polish. There are a few nicks here and there from every day use, but overall, they are in beautiful condition….not “perfect”, but very, VERY nice! They have never been curbed, bent or repaired!

I originally mounted the Continential SportContact2’s that were on my car when I bought it, but they needed replacing last year. So, based on some reviews on Tire Rack and Discount Tire, I bought some Hankook Ventus V12’s. Certainly not the top end tire that the Michelin or Bridgestones are, but for the price, they have been a very nice tire. I liked them enough to buy another set for another car in my “fleet”. They are 305/30 in the rear and 245/35 in the front. On my (very lowered) wide body 993, I never had any rubbing except at parking lot speeds and at full steering lock….and even then, it was just rubbing on the plastic inner fender liner….which could be avoided by simply not going full lock. I put these tires on at 49,575 miles and took them off 51,055 miles, so they have a grand total of 1,480 miles on them and they look like new. The tires have NO plugs, patches, bubbles, uneven or funny wear and have never been tracked or stored outside at any point in time. I use tire dressing from time to time, but ONLY use 3M “Body Shop” tire dressing because it does not contain silicone.

Bottom line: I am the original owner of these wheels and tires and can account for every single mile they have turned. They are 100% ready to run and have absolutely ZERO issues. They are in beautiful condition and unless you are looking for “brand new”, they will not disappoint!

Asking $3500/OBO/shipped anywhere in the lower 48. I subscribed to the philosophy that I should pack and ship items like I would want them packed if they were being shipped to me. They WILL be protected very well and shipped with insurance for MORE than the selling price.

Are these the right sizes and offsets for a 997 turbo?

Direct bolt on for a 997 turbo.

The offset in the front is about 4-5mm wider than most popular aftermarket wheels, but it shouldn't be any issue at all.
