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.

7 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.

POST 1Original post

I love the new 18'' carrera's.

POST 2Original post

I've seen the Roock wheels on a 996 and they look bloody cool. I have the Roock progressive suspension on my T2. Everyone I spoke to rated it, and I have to say it's very good at what it does.

POST 3Original post

I'll be true to form and go on about my usual... 18" Sport Design: utterly gorgarse. Got 'em on my Boxster S and I've seen them on a 996 and they look just as good.

POST 4Original post

I agree with Don....18" Sport Designs. Hoxever, the new 18" Carrera wheel is also spot on.

POST 5Original post

I agree on the 18" sport design (GT3 style) if you are thinking of getting the C4 lowered I can recommend Parr Motorsport in Godstone, also get the geometry changed makes a huge difference to the handling. Parr do a lot of the GT3 cup cars. Speak to Matt or Paul on 01342-892911 Good luck Lee.

POST 6Original post

I like the look of the Sport Design (GT3) style as well. I had considered putting them on my 993. Best price I got was from Jasmine Motorsport at www.jasmine-motorsport.co.uk, geniune wheels at considerable less than OPC.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My '99 996 C4 has the standard 17" wheels and I'm thinking about changing them, but not sure whether 18" wheels actually suit the car, or if it looks better balanced with 17's? Assuming I go for 18's, in your opinions, which wheels look the best on the C4 (Ocean blue) and should I also have the car lowered at the same time? My car does not have the sport suspension. Incidentally, with the sports suspension, does the ride suffer noticeably or is there a setup out there that improves handling and grip without affecting the ride? Have been considering the ROOCK wheels supplied by JZ Machtech. Anyone have experience of their sports suspension/engine & exhaust upgrades?
