Toby Pennycuff

Well, I stand corrected!!! I had previously started a thread looking for early 996 Cup wheels thinking that the wheels on my 2001 Cup are the originals. I was corrected this morning when I talked with Todd Oppermann. Turns out that the car has the bigger brake calipers and thus is now running the later 2002-2005 996 Cup wheels. Thus, what I REALLY need are:

2 9x18 BBS Front, ET46 offset, 1" outer ring, 8" inner ring 996-362-136-97
2 11x18 BBS Rear, ET59 offset, 1.5" outer ring, 9.5" inner ring, 996-362-140-97

Apologies to all for asking for the wrong thing initially. I'll get better as I learn more about the car! Thanks to all.

Just checking back to see if there are any sets for sale? Anybody?

Toby Pennycuff

Still no 996 Cup wheel sets for sale?

Toby- if you don't mind the Grand Am 5-lug/CL combo version, Orbit Racing has a set for sale.

Toby Pennycuff

Thanks for the pointer. Will check with them and see. Initial preference would be to stay with CL's, but beggars can't always be choosers!

FLA997

They CL-only sets are becoming harder and harder to find second hand...unless you want to pay $5300k+ for a new set. I'll keep an ear out for a set and pass along any info to you.

Toby Pennycuff

Well, I'd rather not pay the price for new wheels if I can avoid it. Thanks for any leads you may come across. It is much appreciated.

Jump on those 5 lugs if they're the scalloped E88's. They're several lbs. light than the center lock only versions and GTC3 legal....

Any idea what the price is?


Toby, I have a set of ATS motorsports centerlocks in stock MKII sizes. Currently with a set of old Michelin rains. they are the fan style you see on the R and RSR. Super light nice legal wheels. Id like to get BBS for my rains as I have parts....

FLA997

J - I believe they are asking $3500, but don't quote me on that.

Orbit Racing 561.840.2109 Ask for Rodger.

James Sofranas: I have to run the 9x18 (front) and 11x18 (rear) to be legal. If you have wheels that would work, please drop me a note.

J Richard - Do you have any pics of the ATS wheels>

Thanks to both of you for answering up. I will also check in with the Orbit Racing folks.

I have 2 sets of the 18x9 and 18x11 that I can put together with new seals and hardware for a 996 Cup.
I am working with Toby on a set as we speak.

Price would be $3K per set.

Email me directly with questions and details/pics at james@gmgracing.com.

James-GMG

I am aggressively pricing these 996 Cup spec wheels at $2K for the set.
Pricing reflective of simply needing the space.

James, Need some cup centerlocks

Running 240/640/18 and 280/680/18 yokes so these should work. Current wheels are 10's and 12's - would running 9-11's change anything setup wise I should worry about. Just really need a 2nd set.

Thanks, Eric
