For sale as a complete set:WHEELSA full set of original Sport Design Wheels in the correct 996 GT3 size. These wheels will fit the 996 and they may fit a 993.8J x 18 ET 52 (front)10J x 18 ET 65 (rear)The wheels were professionally colour coded to "Black Chrome". To get this effect, the wheels were stripped, bead blasted, painted black, then lightly coated in chrome before being oven cured. The paint finish has a 3D paint effect: they appear lighter in bright sunlight and slightly darker in dim light/shadows.The outer rims were NOT skimmed/polished as is a more common practice on these wheels which only result in the wheels corroding again. Instead, the outer rims were bead blasted back to bare metal then primed and painted in high-gloss silver. This process is more time consuming, but it ends up being more corrosion resistant and, importantly, no metal is skimmed off during the process.CRESTSThe centre caps are large colour crests in METAL (not plastic), and these have also been colour coded in Black Chrome.TYRESThe wheels come premounted with Toyo R888 trackday tyres (225/40-18 and 285/30-18). The tyres have about 3-4mm of tread (originally they only come with 5mm).£SOLD for the whole set: wheels, crests and tyres. (car in pics not included :wink: )For sale as I switched to Mk2 wheels several months ago (see sig pic) and I keep tripping over these extra wheels in the hallway!Pickup preferred.
