Porsche Supercup kicks off in Monaco this weekend. Can be watched on F1.tv only afaik. Worth a sub imho, if you are an F1 fan. I stumbled across this today, great article on the 996, long read. https://www.stuttcars.com/porsche-911-996-the-story/I landed there because I was searching for what WLS means. As in '3.4 Carrera 2 WLS', as opposed to '3.4 Carrera 2'. I still haven't figured it out. It's in reference to trying to find out what size the factory 17" wheels, turbo twists, on my car are. Looks like there are 2 different sizes, on the rear anyway.7Jx17 ET55 / 9Jx17 ET55 or7Jx17 ET55 / 8.5Jx17 ET50does anyone know? I've had the wheels off to clean them but forgot to write the sizes down. Thx edit.. found it, "WLS (Werks LeistungsSteigerung) factory powerkit was made available (Porsche Exclusive option code X51)." It's the x51👍

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.

X51 ! That�s a nice surprise�😃 �ET 50� is the offset of the wheel (basically the distance from the inside face of the wheel where it meets the hub to the inside edge of the wheel.

... Which happens a lot😁. The offset I get, it's the rears, it looks like x51 and base both had the option of two different rears. 8.5 or 9 wide?
Happy Memorial Day and let's never forget all that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms . RIP to all brave warriors .

It's like finding a 20.00 bill in some pants after getting them out of the laundry.
