Im split between the 996 GT3 and Carrera II wheels, on one hand the GT3 look the best IMO and you can run 235/295 tyres.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello,
I'm considering a '99 C2 that has the solid 18" Turbo Twist wheels. What other OEM wheels are available? I' would like to go with a lighter set.
Thanks in advance!
Im split between the 996 GT3 and Carrera II wheels, on one hand the GT3 look the best IMO and you can run 235/295 tyres.
On the other keeping the Carrera IIs make the car factory original... My car has an aerokit II on it as well.
Best of luck which ever you go with!

I hate the offset of the 5 spoke wheels... I am running 285 Rears and still think I could fit a 10mm spacer. Other than that, I only have them due to weight savings over twists.
GT3 wheels are some of the heaviest OEM 996 wheels made.
If you're ok with 19's the Lobster Forks are pretty darn light. People either love em or hate em.
Weight info on GT3 MK2:
Rear with tyres: 25.62 kgs (56.5 pounds)
Front with tyres: 21.77 kgs (48 pounds)
Rear without tyres: 12.92 kgs (28.5 pounds)
Front without tyres: 11.43 kgs (25.2 pounds)
Info came from here:

Don't have any figures for Carrera IIs but i'd be interested in knowing if anyone did have them. I remember seeing a matrix of wheel weights somewhere.
This is a timely post. Replacing the 18" twists on my car is going to be high on the todo list once the maintenance items are complete.
Right now the MY02 wheels are highest on the list, but have been off and on searching for other alternatives. OZ Alleggerita wheels are 18lbs/19lbs F/R, so lighter than MY02s, and reasonably priced. Not a big fan of the look, though.
From a previous thread on this topic:
Here is the list of different Porsche wheels and weights:
http://www.944racing.de/wheelweights.php
As you can see the Carrera II is an excellent choise, I bought a set myself for my 99 C4
HI there sir,
Yes, they are available for narrow body (HOLLOW), we do stock at least one set.
Also the 996-Turbo twist is a design is available for narrow body (we have one set of those also in-stock) however I don't recall ever seeing a set of narrow hollow 996-Turbo design.
Are you looking for an 18" option only?
We are limited in stock right now but the 18" RS-808 (Satin black) is a good consideration.
18-lbs front
19-lbs rear
http://wheeldynamics.com/porsche-cars.html
An other option is the GT3 Replica wheels. . . .
Sizes offered: Front: 18x8.5 (et. 52) @ 21-lbs Rear 18x10 (et. 54) @ 23-lbs. SILVER FINISH ONLY (custom finishing is available)
These are still lighter than the solid spoke wist wheels.
WE WILL OFFER ONE SET ONLY TO A RENNLISTER who can provide GOOD QUALITY PHOTOS IN RETURN FOR THIS DISCOUNTED RATE: $400 - OFF OUR NORMAL LISTED PRICE OF $1499.
"ONE SET ONLY AT THIS PRICE, SHIPPING $150 TO MOST LOCATIONS IN THE USA"

Does anyone know where I can source a replacement wheel for my 99 996? I'll post a pic of what i have . They are telling me there is a leak from where the spokes stop I don't know if these wheel are in 2 pieces and I can replace part or I have to replace all any suggestions? Thanks!

They are 2-piece wheels made by BBS for Porsche. See if you can find a shop near you with experience assembling 2-piece wheels, probably needs to be resealed. BBS in Atlanta offered a rebuilding service, don't know if they still do.
Hi there,
Since they are 2-pc wheels there is no seal to repair or replace, it's a mystery why they would tell you that it's s spoke that is leaking....
We can repair it for you, call us for a quote.
Thanks,
