Really like these wheels but the shape of the front wheels spokes bothers me a bit. rears look much better There was a set in Bromley that I was watching, just before I bought my current 18s.

I run 9's up front with 235's and 10's with 265's on the back of my 986S with 9mm & 20mm spacers respectively, so it can easily be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That986 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'll be able to tell you how these fit at the weekend as i have some coming courtesy of @RobScott They're not the multispokes though, they're the solid 5 spokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobScott Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Let us know how they fit dude Should be with you on friday The arches on mine are highly modified, so even if I put them on mine, you wouldn't get a true sense of what they look like on a road car.

Araf Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 They look good. What's the weight of them, compared to Boxster wheels though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have 15 & 20mm spacers in though to get it to sit how i wanted but they do clear the struts a lot more. Also with the rears being an inch thinner the 265 tyre sits a hell of a lot better on there. And i'm a sucker for a nice 5 spoke wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr96er Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 All I know is they are 996 Carrera JWL Y128 wheels. Heavily Staggered and more dishy than an a fairy liquid advert! Oh, and the grip they offer on rubber of that width is sublime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JWL just means that the manufacturer has self-certified them for use in Japan. If it also has a VIA mark too then it means the Japanese authorities have tested them for compliance with the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE37's were my dream wheels for the Integra but never found any in the right spec at the right time. There is a set in Porsche fitment for £2,400 on eBay right now! 25 minutes ago, boxsternoob56 said: a what? RWB JDM SSR's? god you know how to make a 40'odd year old feel old! It all makes perfect sense to me. But then I'm a "youth" apparently....
