What wheels are these.

[mikesako]

I got my car about 3 weeks ago and the Porsche dealer that inspected my car said these were porsche factory wheels but I have yet to see them on any other cars. My question is are they factory wheels or aftermarket?

They are 18" and the centers are colored matched to the car. My car is a 1999 C2

We will need a photo and/or the part number on the wheel to tell you.

Thanks,

They are not factory (or optional) wheels for the 996 series. I do not know the brand.

I saw these wheels a few years ago. Likely not true but the dealer in Houston said that they were porsche 'carrera cup' wheels and I did not pursue the point any further. If you get the part number from the inside of the wheel, you can do a google search and likely track down the manufacturer. Also, if you want to replace them, check ebay or www.wheelenhancement.com.

the cup wheels didn't have that type of valve stem. one of the bolt holes was used for that. they look like 993 targa wheels

The dealer was possibly telling the truth... :rolleyes:

The style of wheel were factory wheels that came on the 993.

But that doesn't mean that yours are factory wheels since they

are now manufactured by FRH.

Kinda like the 3.6 Turbo wheel which also came as a factory wheel but now the style is reproducedby Artec & a host of other wheel makers.

Hard to say if yours are factory unless you remove them and look for a Porsche part number.

If you don't like 'em ...let's talk. I've been interested in these for some time.

I have Turbo twists on my C2 (which is the same style without the bolt pattern) if you're interested in a trade.
