Default WTB: 18" Wheels / Winter 996 C4S

Hi there,

Looking for a nice set of 18" rims +/- tires for winter for a 2003 996 C4S.
Would prefer hollow turbo twists for the summer.
Prefer if in Canada (Toronto particularly), but will take what I can get!

Mods: I understand I can't sell anything yet as I'm not a full member, but couldn't find anything prohibiting a wtb post. So, if this post is against forum guidelines - please feel free to delete.

If you can't find them, I would highly advise looking at Tirerack.com. I ordered my winter tires and rims the winter and got them balanced and shipped for a great price...even after taxes, shipping and exchange rate.

Thanks! I already have a call in to Allen, still waiting to hear back from him - always so busy - he's pretty much the only tire guy I deal with and truly trust. Must have set me and family members up with about 5 or 6 sets in the last 2 years alone!

Allen hooked us up with a set of Hankook W300's. I decided to put them on the stock rims.
Now we can sit back and keep my eye out for a set of summer wheels or some cheaper winter rims and swicth them over in the spring.
Bring on the snow!
