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.

My next purchase in the spring are new wheels.
Many cars on Rennlist have this post but I don't see one for the 996.
Post a picture of your wheels!
Let us know the brand and the sizes!
The cooler, the better.
Let's see'em!
If this post is somewhere else or has already been done, direct me to the post.
I'd love to see all your wheels, post them up!
Steve, I will bite. One of my favorite wheels on a Porsche is the Ruf. It is what pushed me over the edge on purchasing my 996 cab. If I ever sell the car I may have to buy a replacement set of wheels and keep these.

That's the link I was looking for but nobody has posted a picture in a YEAR!
Let's see all the new guys.
Jake I've always liked the Ruf wheels. They look great on your car.
I also would like to see more wheel pics, my current three choices are the Forgestar F14's, O.Z. Ultraleggera HLT's and BBS CH-R's. None of these are my car.
I was just looking at the link posted above. 13 of the 14 pages are from 2006 and 2007, mostly MK1 cars.
Let's see some new tech stuff. Where are the Champions, HRE's, Fikse's.
Where are the MKII's, the C4S', GT2 and 3's??
Let's see'em!!!

Savini Forged SV8 in 19" Staggered. I am not really into bling wheels but a local shop made me an offer I really can't refuse. I do like the deep dish in the rear. Will post more pics once its installed. I still need tires.
if your refering to mine, the sticker on the front is 19x8, the rear sticker is worn with no size visible anymore but they are staggered with the rears wider so I guess 19x9 in the rear. Were on the car when i picked it up, i liked the previous owners wheel choice, one other reason i was drawn to this car. I get a lot of compliments on the wheels!

Full marks for Master Jake G. Well played my son.......Wondering the size of those beauties......Sorry just finished up with the latest on "Downton Abbey"
Like most of those actually especially the Matt silver/ali colour and the mattbblack .. Went w oz allegrita for my race tires thanks to cost/weight ratio ...
but OEM wheel is beaut when painted right ...
Here is my 2000 996 Carrera 4 with the GT-955 19" wheels. Purchased them from Wheel Dynamics in Monterey Park, California
My personal preference are the Fikse FM-10sbut unfortunately, they are not in my price range
The coilovers are Yellow DPS system
Right now I am also looking for wheels, but it is so difficult making a choice, so many options that can make or break a car
I like the Work Meister S1 3 piece love the look, but I don't know how a Japanese wheel would be on a german car.
The other wheels I have been looking into lately are Rotiforms I love Concave!!! There is the matte grey 996 C4S with red wheels, that got me looking into Rotiform but I am really liking their 3 piece concave snowflake style rim in the gunmetal grey color.
3 Piece Super Concave
Ive had both 18" sport techno wheels and 19" 997 S "lobster forks". I noticed a much harder ride and a bit of rubbing with 19". Thoughts on ride quality tart offs on the 19s from anyone else?

The owner of that car is a member on here ("podigreg") and his wheels are currently for sale.
The wheels were refinished recently to anodized gold, however.
Poor quality Blackberry pic:
I put these wheels on the car when I bought it... but one of the rear tires shifted a belt and I decided to go with the OEM wheels.
Wheels are 19in Cargraphics.

Anyone have any pics of a black 996 C2/C2S w/ OZ Ultraleggera HLTs? Can't seem to find any on google and am considering them on my car. Debating between black and gray.
The ride with the 19's is very harsh...not comfortable at all on a road trip lasting more than 3 hours. You feel every road imperfection and the steering is moving all the time.
Hey Aben,
I don't mean to hijack this thread but could you tell where did you get that big gray Porsche emblem on the side done? Is that vinyl or paint? I like it, very neat would look great on my dark green 911.
thanks
These are pretty inexpensive, but I like them & they're very easy to clean. I've been thinking about powdercoating the turbo twists black as an extra set (maybe even sell them).
Hi Airrik,
A buddy of mine bought a plotter and had some silver vinyl. So we decided to grab the PORSCHE logo and print it out in numerous sizes to view the quality. The pictures i added are for his portfolio as he started a side business.
I stayed pretty "oem", ..with "TurboTwist", (on a 996 C4, gen 2).
Turbotwiston996C4.jpg
..but, my first try, with the real hollow ex-Turbo OEM (ET45 on rear) did stick out, so, since that picture, I shifted to non oem, and got non-hollow (but same design), with ET on rears, that fit narrow body.
Looking through all of these pictures, it seems like black is the hot look. It's definitely more aggressive.
I'm not sure what color to get. I'm definately leaning VE Innsbruck, but can't decide on black or silver.
Any opinions?
Not to hijack, but what is the name for the style of wheels of your "old" wheels? (the 5 spoke ones) I'm trying to find a decent used set for my dad's 986.

oh mathew, those wheels are fantastic ! and I have never seen them before... how are they called ..
I think we need to ask people who post their rims to name them and give price
Some more OZ pictures. Call me if interested!

Looks like a tilt-shift post-processing to me (photoshopped) to add a progressive blur. Done properly, it can make your full-sized car look like a miniature toy.
just ordered some black Alleggeritas for my 996! I'm a big OZ fan.
btw I still think Alleggerita would be a great name for an allergy medicine.
"breathe easier with Alleggerita" and so forth.
These are Double G chrome wheels on my "new to me" 1999 Cabriolet. First weekend with the car. I need to get some chrome lug nuts to match up with these cool wheels!
For the most part, stock rims seem to have it over the rest, even the Volk TE37's dont look right, maybe its just that the offset is too much on the positive side, they are my go to wheel on Japanese cars.

I really wanted new wheels but my wheel money is being spend elsewhere now. However, I do like seeing all these pictures. It's amazing how many choices there are out there!

There are a lot of Porsches in the affluent San Franscisco Bay Area where I live, and my 996 really stands out from the crowd. It never fails to catch peoples' eye, and gets a lot of compliments.
Here's a couple of more photos I took in Carmel-by-the-Sea this weekend.
Gil
Gorgeous. I'll look for you in the Bay Area!
There was another color similar to that for sale out in Livermore. But the interior really makes your pop, IMO. The other had a grey interior and it looked washed out to me.
Anyway, nice car, and nice drive, I hope. I've had my 996 for a little over two months, and the 17 mile drive/Monterey are high on my list of to do's.
Yes, you will really enjoy driving your 996 on the 17 mile drive; and don't miss out on a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway along Big Sur; fun sweeping curves. BTW, your Ocean Blue is also a very nice color on the 996!
Gil
My plan was to test out the look by plasti-dipping, and then get them powdercoated. But they have held up surprisingly well and I really like the look. I honestly don't know if I can justify the cost and hassle of powdercoating when plasti-dip costs $5 a can. And, I can always pull it off if I get sick of the look or want to sell the wheels/car.
Rob , those wheels are SWEET ! lol
What is the make and model ? I think they look really cool, how much do they weight ? offset ? and tire size.. please
Yeah that makes sense. Have you sprayed any wheel cleaner to wipe them down and any issues with any of it coming off or bubbling from the heat from the brakes?
I sprayed 3 to 4 coats about a month ago and it has held up strong with no chipping or bubbling. I wash the wheels by hand with car soap - no problems. There's a vid on youtube of the DipYourCar guy powerwashing his plasti-dipped wheels to no ill-effect.
Check this out for the durability on a track'd car:

Front 45
Rear 55
The rears are scary close to the fenders, but had no problem after some severe testing on the track. It actually increases the stance without using spacers..
Rules (Rennlist is big on rules):
1. Forget PIMP MY RIDE: just say "No" to spinners and 22's
2. Chrome is for '57 Chevies
3. Form follows function: It's a Porsche, G'd d'mn it!
4. It better be lighter than stock or why did you do it?
5. Rubbin' is for racing, and not for the inside of your wheel well
6. Yellow brakes rule; red is in the club; and if they're black, don't show 'em
@ jdog
those are Tarox discs. Type: F2000.

@ EDoyle
the shocks are Bilstein (B8) and the springs are Eibach
its got pss9's but i dont know how much its lowered. I bought the car exactly the way it is. The only thing i added are gemballa mufflers (which are not loud enough).....
Thanks! I haven't seen anybody else with sport techno wheels painted like mine. I originally wanted to replace them with BBS or Forgestar F14 wheels, but they have grown on me.
Lots of great looking cars!
If anyone is interested in Fikse or Forgeline wheels for their car we have Rennlist specials on right now for both brands!
Cheers
Mine are not as nice as alot of the other Expensive Wheels out there but they are what I thought looked good for the look I was going for (& they were pretty inexpensive)! jmo
