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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is this good value, I tend to think so, feedback would be great. Currently I have 18" Sport Designs,with 7.5J on the front and 10J on the rear. The tyres are 225/40 on the front and 265/30 on the rear, tyres are in excellant condition as the car has only done 6,700 miles. The wheels look perfect but the other side of the split rim, there is some corrosion, (down to water getting in - I'm informed). You cannot see from looking at the car. I have offered a set of 18" Sport Techno wheels with tyres, front 8J with 225/40 ZR and on the rear 11J with 295/30 ZR all tyres are new Pirelli's. The wheels are unused and they would take mine in as part exchange. Cost �1,762 fitted. In US or Euro $2,175 What do you all reckon ? or Thanks Colin

POST 2Original post

When you want to install the 11" Sport Techno wheels on a MY '99-'01 996 then you must roll the rear fenders, at least that is what is recommended in the sales literature. So that might be an extra cost in case you plan to go with the Sport Techno's. The Sport techno wheels have hollow spokes and will be lighter than the Sport Design wheels.

Thanks Gert, I wasn't told about this by the dealers, hmm - Is " rolling the rear fenders " where the lip of the arch is curved under instead of remaining at 90% ? My fronts arches are like this already - is this normal and is this part or all of the solution ? Thanks again Colin

" When you want to install the 11" Sport Techno wheels on a MY '99-'01 996 then you must roll the rear fenders, at least that is what is recommended in the sales literature." What is rolling the rear fenders ? I have a good idea. Thanks.
