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.

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.

ASK: $2,800 firm net to me. Or I will sell without tires for $2,500.

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.
