Suggestion

My only concern with this type of design is whether you will need to spend hours with an old toothbrush to keep the narrow gaps clean of brake dust?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

9 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

Posted on here last week saying how I had purchased a set of replica 997 alloys and i had them fitted on saturday down in Birmingham and they look great IMO. What do you think?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

We had our original tyres fitted onto the new alloys by Porsche shop in Birmingham for £900 including balancing and fitting. Got to put my old turbo 2 alloys on fleebay now.

POST 4Original post

They look nice on your 996tt. Not to sure about fitting replicas to a 450hp + car...

POST 5Original post

They look great. My only concern with this type of design is whether you will need to spend hours with an old toothbrush to keep the narrow gaps clean of brake dust?

POST 6Original post

looks great. Are the wheels exact same size and offsets as originals? Has the car been lowered at all?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They are from Porsche Shop and they are 18". The car hasnt been lowered at all just the standard springs and suspension.

POST 9Original post

The gaps are wider than you perhaps think, I've found a single wipe of a sponge cleans them fine.. but then again I've never won a concours [ ]... My 996TT wheels were a dream to clean, they don't really get any easier... these are more work but look great when clean. Very good copies and look great Steve. garyw
