Hi All

I'm looking for some 19" wheels for my 997tt to use on track days,

Looked at Genuine Porsche but prices are a little stupid so looking for ideas.

Dont want ludicrously priced ones as want to spend money on decent rubber.

Any ideas please

cheers

Second hand 19 " crab claws from eBay?

Not sure if they are the right offset though!

Cheers MTR, think the offsets are wrong as you rightly say,
offset rear 51, front 56

Those wheels are C2 fitment. There's usually plenty of C4 fitment 19" wheels on the bay. You could do worse than try calling Porsch Apart or Jasmine Porsche to see what they have - maybe awaiting 'prep' - to keep costs down.

As above, try Porsche Apart. I got a set of rims from them prevoiusly at a competitive price.

When I got a spare set for my Cayman, I scoured ebay, pistonheads classified, porsch-apart and several others. Took a few months but got a set of wheels for £250 (instead of the £1500 that the OPC wanted).
