Also, the Porsche C4S recommended winter tire is a 10", so they actually recommend changing wheels too.

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.

Pitching these as a set of snow or spare set of wheels for your WB 996.
Pretty close to flawless; no curb rash, no bends, no cracks, etc; ‘C4S’ center caps and generic valve stem included; stock color and finish.
$400 picked up
Priority will be given to order of PMs received.
They are beautiful, but if they are your 11x18 OEM wheels, they won't work as snows. There isn't a snow tire made that will fit them. The Porsche recommended rear wheels for snow tires on the C4S are 10x18.
Pirelli Snowsport 240 have a size that works fine. The only N-rated Porsche approved winter tires in the right size for a widebody 996 when using the 8x11 rear wheels. Fronts are 235/40/18, rear are 295/35/18. Slightly higher sidewall than the summer tires and the ride is a bit softer, but it works great in the white stuff. I've been using those for 3 winters.
yeah. the hollow spokes are just a stopgap. I like to not sink in crazy money on the car. I did that w/ the Audi so any serious $ will go towards a race car if I do go crazy.
The hollow spokes are lighter but not that much lighter. Still a lot of rubber weight. I had fikse's on my Audi and I could totally tell the difference at Laguna Seca between them and BBS CHs.
Why not CCW wheels? Seems to be popular w/ the GT3 crowd.
OT but The OZ will cost you around $1700+. You're not that far off from CCW wheels...AND you will have better resale later on, especially with the Turbo folks.
The OZs you posted are shot peened while CCWs are forged.
[QUOTE=Whitey||C4S;7119737]Rather not invest in a custom set of
track
wheels for the C4S. Let's be honest; not very many track this platform.
I was just talking to my mechanic today and he reminded me why I should have done the motorsport camshafts. He said to start saving and next time I need a clutch, he'll do the cams.
I asked him out of curiosity if the GT3 engine would work and he said he could make it work. Transmission would be difficult, but he said he can pretty much work out the sensors and the wiring. heh.
but w/ the camshafts and the ECU, i'd be close to GT3 numbers. It'd be one fast C4s.
Unfortunately no, the rear wheel offsets are too agressive for a narrow-body 996. The rear wheels wouold stick out too far and you would probably have issues with the rear tires rubbing on the fender.
No, that is not what I am saying.
What I AM saying is that you should buy them because they will fit your car
just as well
as the GT2 wing and the Turbo mufflers did!
Got the 12/8 PM, but replied same day. I may have accidentally deleted your latest in a overzealous clean up effort if you sent another one. Can you resend? Thanks
