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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

found these on craigslist does anyone know if these cayman wheels fit a 996 c2? http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/pml/for/5803738158.html

POST 2Original post

Absolutely! I believe they are called: Lobster claws! Sounds like a great buy provided the wheels are true and not cracked!

POST 4Original post

Forks, not claws. Lobster forks. I'm not just being a d*ck - you might get better search results for "lobster forks" instead of claws...

POST 5Original post

Those aren't Lobsters, they are "987 Boxster S" wheels. 8" and 9" which means the rears will be a little small for most 996s, but they'll fit.

POST 6Original post

They are also called Lobster Forks. Two versions were made: 997 and Boxster/Cayman

POST 7Original post

Check the offsets. These should be fine but some caymans have offsets that will only work on a widebody 996.

I thought the Lobsters are all 19": http://wheelenhancement.com/index.ph...lDetail&id=128 These (OP's wheels) look pretty similar, but are 18": http://wheelenhancement.com/index.ph...lDetail&id=136

I'm sorry, but I didn't look at the images closely since I was on mobile and had trouble getting the link to work. Now that I've looked the CL wheels, you're absolutely right. Those wheels are NOT the lobster forks. However, 19" lobster forks were made in two distinct fitments: the 997 and Cayman/Boxster. See picture of true Lobsters Forks... There are notable differences!
