Oh I see you are on a 996... offset is different I think to the 997. Still worth a look.

Word of warning. They are pigs to keep clean. The outer pieces are come unprotected & are very prone to surface tarnishing. If you buy new get them disassembled & have the outers anodised.

Hi

I've got a set of these on my 964....pic below...



I've had them for 5 years...not as bad to clean as everyone makes out, you just need to keep on top of brake dust. They are amazingly light....

no not magnesium but alloy, thinner walled gauge construction than say street LM's for example.. I run both LM's for street & E88's for track on my 6GT3.. I'd say the E88's wearing slicks are 25-30% lighter than LM's wearing 888's.. My E88 set have some race provenance too, as they were actually used in the Rolex Daytona 2004 race.. many thanks go to fioran0 for sourcing me the set a while back.. cheers mate!
