I'm looking for an "inexpensive" way to get 18" or 19" five-spoke rims on my 99 996 C2 daily driver.

Any suggestions for OEM or aftermarket makes and models?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, are you still looking for the wheels? I have a set of 18" Carrera 5 Spoke off from my low-milage 02' 996, let me know if you are interested, thanks!

No problem!

The tires are Michelin Pilot Sports N1 225/40/ZR/18 and 285/30/ZR/18, with all about 70%+ left. Only 1 rear rim has a minor curb rash as other 3 are in mint condition. I will post photos of the them tonight.

Thanks!

The Tire Rack has some off brand turbo twists for reasonable, (I wouldn't describe them as "inexpensive" though)

The 02 Carerra 5 spokes are very light. I bought a set of these since they are the lightest OEM wheels. I use my 99C2 for DE and AX and I feel a slight difference in performance between the wheel sets. Here are some of the OEM wheel weights if you're interested.

993 18" Turbo Twists Pounds
7.5" Front (50mm) 24.5
10" Rear (65mm) 28

18" Sport Designs
7.5" Front (50mm) 26.5
10" Rear (65mm) 30

18" 02' Carerra2 5 spokes
8" Front (50mm) 21
10" Rear (65mm) 23
