Selling a set of the Optional OEM Porsche Wheel originally found on the 996 Narrow Body Cars.
These were made by BBS for Porsche.
Front Wheels are: 7.5x18 with an offset of ET50.
Rear Wheels are: 10x18 with an offset of ET 65
Bolt Pattern is 5x130.
Front Part Number: 996.362.134.55
Rear Part Number: 996.362.140.50
These wheels were just refinished. Two wheels required straightening (one had a bend which was repaired).
These were restored as to original with the machined lip and gray painted painted centers. They were disassembled for the refinishing. Center caps are included.
Overall is condition is very good, but I will never call anything perfect. The lips have a couple very small imperfections (cannot see without thorough inspection).
The inner barrels and inside lips look good, but to be honest, but they could have benefitted from a bit more work. These are in areas that you do not see once tires are on, and they are mounted to the car, but wanted to be transparent.
Please reach out for more photos, I have over 100 available.
Asking $2,450 OBO. I can ship at buyer's expense.

Just my 2 cents but might want to revisit pricing. There is a set for sale in the PCA classifieds for $1500 I’ve been considering
I have a set that I refinished as well. To do it right, it’s quite a costly job as the faces need to be removed with the brittle hardware and lips machined, etc.
I’ve seen the set you are referencing and if you look closely, despite being advertised in good condition the wheels aren’t perfect. Inevitably more water will get into the lip surface and accelerate the oxidation.
For sure budget is a factor and if you aren’t looking for perfect, there are sets that are acceptable or need work out there but the ones offered here are ready to go, and in ideal condition for a resto project on a 996 like many of us have been doing lately.
There have been sets of these that have sold for the asking price and more in this condition, so I do believe it’s fair. GLWS OP.

Thanks @SkysTheLimit . Following the pricing on these, and pricing has been all over the place. I've seen really beat ones sell for $1300, and really nice ones sell for $4K.
