Traded my car in last night, kept these as part of the deal. Wheels (all 4) are 18x10 +42, about as perfectly flush of a fitment as I've seen to date. 21.0 lbs each (actual measured weight). No rubbing anywhere, ever. Tires are 285/35-18 R-S3's. Only catch is with the deep concave spokes, the front cap won't fit up front. There's space around the hub snout to have a cap made, if you're so inclined.

These were new in July. There are three nicks in them; one happened when they were packing the wheels, another from the tire shop, and a third when I just kissed a curb trying to navigate through a tight apartment complex (that's what I get for having a small car for a DD!). There's also a couple spots between the spokes where the powder coat didn't get complete coverage (see the picture). Never noticed it when it was on the car but just noting it for full disclosure.

I did two track days on the tires and probably less than 100 street miles, LOTS of life left in the tires (see treat pics). They performed great, but can't comment on how they do in the rain as they've never been driven in it.

Everything here was about $2600 back in July, looking for $1600 shipped to the lower 48. Will separate if there's a buyer for all.

What kind of porsche did you get?

Picked up a '95 Carrera..I've been wanting a 993 for a looooooong time, decided it was time to just say screw it and get one while I'm still living the simple bachelor life. :clap:

Well, they took forever to get (3+ months), so I was hoping they'd have been older than this, haha. I knew I was probably going to get rid of the car, but I just I just kinda wanted to "finish" the car before I quit. Just happened the trade I worked out excluded these..

Anyway if the color isn't to someone's taste, my local powder coater is pretty reasonable with wheels for basic colors like black, I'd be willing to work out a deal with refinishing.

Great looking wheels. GLWS.

Those would look awesome on my Vapor Silver GT! In the spirit of full disclosure, my last ride was a Steel Gray Metallic STI with gold BBS's. :) Too bad I just dumped a bunch of money into mods for my Lightning.

I have no use for the tires so if you consider seperating I could possibly be interested in the wheels.

Just measured the tread on the tires, showing about 7-8/32nds all around, figured that would be a good thing to mention. Pacific Raceways is kinda hard on the right side tires so they're a little more worn than the left.

Would be a piece of cake to make some, if you know anyone with a lathe. A small machine shop probably wouldn't charge that much..actually I might have some aluminum stock that would work. I don't have a car to work on now but..hmm..
