Hey guys selling my Finspeed wheels w/tires. Everything used less than a year. Wheels and tires have less than 3k miles and are as new. No marks, scuffs, scrapes, no damage of any kind. Center caps were custom made with OEM badges.

Wheels/Tires SOLD thanks for looking

Reduced price... I know these aren't the most aggressive wheels, they are only 18's and the rears are 10's wide but they are incredible high quality and super light. You will not be disappointed in how your car looks or drives with this wheel & tire set up.

Asking $2,900 or BO, special preference if someone local (North of Boston) is interested.

The wheels are Finspeed forged monoblocks that fit 996 and 997 NB. These are by far the nicest wheels I have ever owned, beautifully made and very light.

18x8.5 F and 18x10 R with Michelin PS2 in the OEM sizes 224/40-18 F and 265/35-18 R

Great deal! I wish I could find some used Finspeeds in the size/offsets I wanted. What finish is that?

mhs525

Thanks, I thought they were a good deal, the wheels are beautiful and the car drove incredible wearing them. Light weight, new PS2's, it was awesome.

Unfortunately they don't seem to be generating much interest yet. Although these wheels are for the NB they can be used with a WB/TT with spacers on the back.

The finish is a tinted clear. The look I was going for was something close to the newer OEM wheels and everyone who saw the car thought it looked like a 997 just from the wheels. The design and finish really pulled the look of the car forward.

Great looking wheels. Good luck with sale from a local Bostonian. 997 folks would need at least 11" on rear and 235 on front.

Thanks for the tip. I was pretty conservative when I ordered them using Tirerack as a guide. 18x10 for the rears seemed a good match to the 18x8.5 fronts.

With the new PS2's I could not get the rear end loose. They just stick in the corners.

Do you know what the:

- Offset of the wheels
- Weight of the wheels are?

Do you know if they were subject to any of the options at http://finspeed.com/wheel-options/?

Are the TPMS units included?

mhs525

The front offset is 50, rear is 58. The Finspeed guys asked what offset I wanted but I deferred to their experience and said I wanted the wheels to be flush with the body and they are.

I never weighed the wheels without the tires and I only have a bathroom scale. When they arrived I picked up the 18x10 rear with two fingers out of the box.

I got the weights of the PS2's off the Tirerack website and arrived at the following:

Front wheel/tire 42lbs less tire weight 21lbs, Front wheel weight 21lbs
Rear wheel/tire 47.5lbs less tire weight 25lbs, Rear wheel weight 22.5

Again this is with a bathroom scale but the numbers make sense and should be close.

Other than the relieving the back of the hubs I didn't have any other options done for additional lightening. The wheels with the OEM Porsche emblems machined into the center caps where a little over $4,000 and that was my limit.

Sorry but TPMS was not required for my 2000 C4 so you would have to buy those and have them installed.

Thanks for looking. I thought they would sell rather quickly so they are only advertised on Rennlist. Unfortunately I was wrong so if they don't sell this weekend I am going to put them on the PCA site, 6 Speed.com and if I have to, Ebay.

Very interested. Would you consider shipping?

I would...

Still available...

Not trying to insult anyone but for those of us who are new to modding or buying aftermarket wheels.

As a forged monoblock each wheel is cut from a single piece of forged aluminum on a lather and milling machine. HRE charges $1,500 per wheel for the same quality of wheel.

FYI these wheels should fit NB 993, WB 964, and WB 993 with spacers. They should also fit 986/987 with spacers. They might even fit a late-offset 944 or 968. The size/offset they sold you are pretty flexible enough as far as figment to other Porsche models.
