Quotes source post: 1575714

Quote: Wont fit.....997s are wider than 996s so a widebody 997 wheel will not fit a narrow body 996. If you had a widebody 996 then yes.

POST 6Original post

Bump to this thread guys! I am putting my 997tt back together after some extensive works, I bought this 997 febi guibo and compared it to the old one, seemed the same, so chucked it away... Now I am actually onto rebuild I find that the fit is not perfect as with the OEM one. It has a gap between the metal sleeve and the locating machined hole in the tranny output. The only way to close it is bolt it up then it slightly distorts the Guibo... Not good and I am thoroughly p*ssed off with the car at the minute lol So does anyone know where I can get the GAP01-002 part from? Has anyone else had a fitment issue with the Febi? DO I have the wrong Febi part maybe? or am I missing something... many thanks upload

POST 8Original post

those are some ugly wheels. finish is popular with the discount tire/les schwab wheel inventory.

POST 9Original post

I like them looks very cool and car feels very light. Never knew discount tires sells $3200 forged aluminum turbo wheels desighned to put 500+ HP to the ground, learn something new every day.

Quote: yea and it's insane people will actually spend that much on ugly wheels when there are plenty of better aftermarket wheels that give you even more for less (or more for more). sure if you order a 997 turbo and it comes with it so be it. but to actually spend the time and effort and $ to put it on a non-997 Turbo car... is pretty dumb. -lots of wheels are forged -lots of wheels can handle 500+hp -lots of wheels can become "turbo" wheels whatever the F that means

Quote: Dude it all depends what person likes and want to put on there car it's simple as that don't impose your opinions on others. I loved those wheels that’s why I put them on my car now if you have a problem with that bite me. Let me put a smile on your face Choi, car is totaled and going to junk ward hope you feel better now.

POST 12Original post

Looks like we have a battle brewing. I think the 19" turbos are hot. Looking to upgrade to the TechArt 19" Formula II, or the 19" 997 Turbo.

POST 13Original post

Wheels don't match the 996 at all. They only look proper as OEM on 997 Turbo.

POST 14Original post

I like em and would pick Porsche OEM 10Xs over aftermarket. Very few companies can match porsche. BBS being one I can think of. Definetly will not fit on a 996 C2 I tried : )

POST 15Original post

What a funny combination. There's better choices of wheels out there for a relatively decent price.

POST 16Original post

Quotes source post: 1578364

Quote: I would have to agree with OEM quality, though some may not like an OEM look. BBS is good stuff too, and so are the TechArts, which I believe are made by BBS. At least there is a BBS marking on my TechArt 18" rims.

POST 17Original post

Quotes source post: 1578364

Quote: it's your money and your brain which is rolling around in mud called ignorance since oem wheels are limited by cost considerations a great deal more so than the aftermarket (Fikse, BBS, OZ, Work, Champion, CCW, etc). there is ALWAYS a better aftermarket wheel alternative out there over oem esp given that the same oem suppliers for porsche, honda, toyota, bmw also have their aftermarket line-up where the real quality and beauty comes thru.

POST 20Original post

wheel style/look is a matter of taste. i like those OEM 5 spoke turbo wheels better than the old OEM turbo wheels. but, in wheel design and construction aftermarket beats OEM hands down. just visit the HRE site. those things are modern sculpture.

Quote: Bro who are you talking to seriously?! Your Porsche knowledge is all about bling which has nothing to do with Porsche. You like custom cars. Not Porsche. You just happen to drive one. Dont insult me if your biggest concern is the size of the rear lip on your 911. Please.... I never see many positive comments coming from you here? Are you some sort of expert?

POST 22Original post

Quotes source post: 1576169

Quote: So are these different sized aftermarket wheels or the OEM 997 turbo 8.5 x19 front and 11x19 in the back?? I've just heard so many people say they wouldnt go on a NB.. I like the wheels personally, but it needs to be lowered...

POST 23Original post

Sorry to revive an old post but can someone definitively answer whether 997 turbo rims and tires (OEM) will fit 996 narrow body? Many thanks!
