also I felt very little difference between 18 to 19 if you adjusted your ride

I don�t remember the tires he had, but I don�t think they were one of the usual recommended high performance ones on Rennlist.

There are plenty of folks who run 19" wheels on the 996 with no issues.

I don’t know what you run for wheel/tire combo but an adjustable suspension solves a lot of problems
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.

Anyone run these on a 996? Beautiful wheels but they are not produced in 18��. 19s look good on a 997, but suspicious as to the look on a 996 given the NB, etc�

From a post on rennlist by GlasWerksDMV:

19"-21" diameters and 8"-16" widths.
Available in Factory Centerlock & 5 lug variants as well as ForgeLine centerlock conversion pieces.
5 lug fitment centers can be built to accept factory Porsche centercaps.
Can spec an almost endless number of colors and finishes on the inner barrel, face & outer barrel.
We can Paint to sample match any part of the wheel to your car as well."
There are plenty of folks who run 19" wheels on the 996 with no issues. If you like the look the rumor on the streets is expect a bit harsher ride. I have never tied 19" on my car so I am just repeating what I read.
Really? What does �good tires� mean? Generally speaking, due to the very low sidewall on 19� tires in the sizes needed to fit the 996 they provide a harsher ride than 18�s regardless of how �good� the tire is�
I don’t know what you run for wheel/tire combo but an adjustable suspension solves a lot of problems
when it comes to ride tires play a big part I found that Michelin run harder and continental a bit softer the general were the stiffest the ventus v12 was a great compromise and very good all around tire
my favorite is the continental almost as good as the Michelin and definitely a better rain tire and yes I do have and used all of the sets above as I have 6 sets of rims on/for my car now
and to get a better ride adjustability and softer sidewalls contribute and this is from current usage
also I felt very little difference between 18 to 19 if you adjusted your ride
Hi All,
I contacted a rep for foregline who is interested in producing 18 inch versions of the wheel if we get enough who are interested. I had a mockup of how 18 inch wheels would look on a lowered 996 aero sans wing, which is where the direction of the mods of my car is going. I am ready to put a deposit, but I imagine the more that are interested the more likely it will happen. Anyone else interested?
awesome� I am committed to get a group buy going� I�ll be working to get the word out on other forums and will msg mods for some sort of vendor announcement to get morebuyers
Tread design, tread pattern and compound... harsher is relative. Ride quality from tire to tire can be very different especially in certain environments. My lowered, 5000lb VW Touareg has 295/35/21 tires and a Michelin Latitude 3(Cayenne Spec) rides very differently than a Michelin Sport 4S(M01 spec) and rides considerably different than a Continental ContisportContact 5P(N0 spec). We can argue the merits of either but a 19" vs 18" isn't that big of a deal in daily driving for most of us and you know what a "good tire" is. 19" tire selection vs a 18" isn't as great so there's that.
Agreed. My buddy has 19�s on his 996 and it had similar comfort to my Michelin PS4S. I don�t remember the tires he had, but I don�t think they were one of the usual recommended high performance ones on Rennlist. Felt perfectly fine in casual driving, though I didn�t push it or take it on a back road.
Update: Steve from forgeline has agreed to make these if we have at least TWO orders, mine is in the bag only need one more� rennlist member has indicated he is in I am DMd him, but waiting to hear back� let me know if any more interest! Looks like this is doable!
You could go with Starke SC18 / Rep R186.... they are under $800 for all 4.

For $1000 US per wheel I could get Augment Wheels to do one-offs in whatever width, offset and colour I wanted.

For $1250 US per wheel they would do them in magnesium.

I think these look amazing and have had them ear marked for a little while but the lack of 18s and the price (yeeowza!) has kept me away. I'm not in a position to buy right now anyway but in the interest in showing interest for 18s I figured I should speak up.
I'm keen but it has to be a realistic price per wheel. They look great and fully forged matters a lot in Australia. Not prepared to pay outrageously for forged, when they are not the only gig in town, and do very nicely as far away as Australia where fully forged can matter beyond looks.
AWC / Augument Wheels here in Canada does amazing variants of Fuchs and others...

Sorry if I seemed standofish, in correspondence I didn't want to deter. I like fully forged but want price, frieght price bolt on on fitment, 996.1 narrow body no spacers, ideally no rolling either. This cropped up as coolant is dripping from my engine (booked for an elective Nickies rebuild, trying to keep it elective, while the shop finishes other work for another 4-6 weeks). I hope you get there.
