Suggestion
Regular MY02's are just silver painted but the 40th's had this odd chrome finish that wasn't mirror chrome and is of course very hard to repair/replicate.

Thinking about getting a set when it comes time to buy new tires.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

I know I should know the answer to this, but what are these wheels called? Thinking about getting a set when it comes time to buy new tires. I�m interested in dropping from 19� to 18� wheels to compare ride quality.
The original post are, as others have said, "MY 02's" but specifically they look like the shot-peened, semipolished ones from the 40th anniversary edition. Regular MY02's are just silver painted but the 40th's had this odd chrome finish that wasn't mirror chrome and is of course very hard to repair/replicate.
I stumbled across them on Ebay. �Flow Form� is the brand. Very inexpensive so not sure about the quality. Originally I was thinking about bronze wheels but I�m now leaning toward Apex SM-10s in silver.
Also had a set of those of my car before getting GT3 MK2 rims.
I still miss the look of them but the GT3 rims are the pinicale for me.
Also FYI these fit:
225 / 40 / R18 upfront
285 / 30 / R18 on the rear
I don't have these wheels, but I admit the Carrera II BBS wheel are about the best looking and performing wheels you can get for the 996. And that blacked out look is truly awesome Danizio! Great photo!
Forum rules prevent me from talking about other manufacturers, so I can't touch on that. I certainly could though, I used to sell ESM wheels working at ModBargains for several years.
I had them on my other ‘04. Beautiful but the crappy Indiana roads destroyed them. I bet I had them straightened 3 or 4 times. Not an indictment of the wheels, just the Indiana roads.
