Wanted Wanted 997.1 Turbo wheels

[ohms777]

I'm looking for a set of 997.1 Turbo wheels, must be original and never previously reconditioned/diamond cut.

No kerb damage or repairs, but corrosion under lacquer no issue.

Thanks

You're better off buying a new set its inconceivable you'll find a set that have not been reconditioned 15 years on IMO. They're not that dear last I looked with a new set with Michelin tyres 2800 from Porsche Hatfield.

Hi Imi,

Thanks for the response.

For a full set, surely not! Do you still have your original wheels?

I was trying to avoid previously cut rims if possible, as the centre caps sit proud and don't look right after being diamond cut.

Mine started corroding after 12 months from water ingress under the laquer. Same will happen to a new set if used daily. I have a set but they're painted and have been recut previously a few times. The centre caps fit but you're right one of the fronts centre caps does sit slightly proud. I plan to repaint mine again maybe dark olive met or mint green and use as track wheels 8)

They'll look great.👍

I have a thing for body coloured wheels, on the right car of course!

I also like the Ruf Rt-12 wheels, but these seem to rarely come up for sale.
