Suggestion · Original poster

I'm not dead set on going back to 18s but it would be nice to get back to factory specs as the ride quality just isn't the same with the 19s I currently have.

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.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Need some ideas to replace/refurbish the rims on my 2005 C4S and need some inspiration. I've been constantly stalking Craigslist, EBay, and the Parts Forum for potential candidates but am befuddled by the myriad of widths, offsets, etc that are available. I currently have 19s but want to go back down to 18s. Can't do twists, but want to know what else everyone is running. Please include all the gory details....

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here's where I'm sitting at currently.....

POST 3Original post

Mine was built with these Sport Techno wheels - I think they look especially good on a C4S.

POST 4Original post

Just had them refinished along w/ new caps, photo was prior

POST 5Original post

Subscribed as I'm in the same boat -- bought the car w/ Carrera Classics, but didn't realize until i got it home that those are NB wheels so it's currently on spacers... no bueno. I'm leaning towards BBS CH-R in black (silver wheels on a silver car are quite boring) in 19's but am considering oem 18" options as well. Why are you going back to 18's, is it simply a ride quality thing? I've done lots of wheel/tire set ups on BMWs but still cutting my teeth on this car, would love any wisdom you care to impart.

POST 6Original post

Since you're wanting to go with 18s, these won't be applicable - but here's what 997 C4S wheels look like on mine.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm not dead set on going back to 18s but it would be nice to get back to factory specs as the ride quality just isn't the same with the 19s I currently have.

POST 9Original post

I have done black: I have done silver: It may help to know the colour of your car...I found the black just sort of disappeared into the wheel wells.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My car is pictured in post #2, want to get away from the black on black look.

POST 11Original post

It's easy to understand the 19" look. Here is BBS CHR 19's on the car when it was purchased. Great look then I went back to some Turbo II hollow 18's. The car "felt" better when back to the 18's. Stock suspension but it's one of those mod/change issues where you find the truth in earlier opinions. I found myself coming a full circle from factory choices to my own preferences then back to factory. IMHO. With that said I'd take an 18" Sport Techno and highlight the slanted spoke face with a different shade, add 7mm front and 14mm rears spacers and some lowering springs. 944racing.de is a good site for Porsche factory wheel info. Click on Felgengewichte and English for the list. Have fun!

POST 12Original post

Im running the new ESM wheels for the summer. It�s 18x11 rears with a 15mm spacer for offset. Its a flow form wheel, and the guys at ESM cut me a deal in exchange for photos so it was hard to pass up.
