Popular Post twopointnine Posted February 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2019 For sale, my set of 4 Porsche Turbo style (replica) 19" alloy wheels with excellent Toyo R888R tyres. Wheel sizes: front 8.5J x 19 ET57 and rear 9.5J x 19 ET46. Tyre sizes:front 235/35 ZR19 (93Y) and rear 265/30 ZR19 89Y. Date codes: front 4116 and rear 4416. I bought these wheels in 2018 from a Porsche owner who had only done a few hundred road miles on them and no track use. I've done no more than 50 road miles and one hillclimb. A change of plan for this year means I no longer need them. The wheels themselves are in good enough condition for track work but would need refurbishing if you were entering a concours competition. One wheel has had a small weld repair. Additional photographs can be provided on request. The centre caps are included in the sale. I have used these wheels on a 987.2 Cayman, they should fit other Cayman or Boxster models and maybe some other Porsches, you should verify this yourself. Offered at £895 or best offers considered - Here's a link to my eBay listing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202593477345 Collection from Southampton/Salisbury area, if you want to arrange a courier I will wrap them as best I can (Paisley Freight will courier them for about £50 the set). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam@IoM Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Did you have any problems running 30 profile rear tires instead of 35? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopointnine Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Twickenham’s not so far from me if you want to look at them Dougie. Sam, I didn’t have any problems with the 30 profile but as I said I only did approaching 50 road miles. It will make a slight difference to the speedo reading but that’s not something I have time to look at during a hillclimb. The most noticeable difference with the R888Rs is the lack of rim protection compared with Michelin Pilot Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 @twopointnine Do you know if the weld repair was done professionally? ... Just wondering why the weld wasn't ground flat Has the weld affected the overall balance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopointnine Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 This is what I was told when I bought them last year....... ”There was a small professional weld repair on one of the rear wheels when I bought it, but it currently shows no sign of cracking or any fatigue. I did ask my wheel man why it wasn’t ground flush to be cosmetically better and he quite rightly advised it’s far stronger raised and you can’t see it anyway – sounded like a decent response to me.” I didn’t experience any balance issue with the little use I’ve had but I’m happy to get that wheel checked/balanced again prior to sale.

twopointnine Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Still for sale, my set of 4 Porsche Turbo style (replica) 19" alloy wheels with excellent Toyo R888R tyres. Go back to my first post for photographs, better still come and inspect them yourself. Wheel sizes: front 8.5J x 19 ET57 and rear 9.5J x 19 ET46. Tyre sizes:front 235/35 ZR19 (93Y) and rear 265/30 ZR19 89Y. Date codes: front 4116 and rear 4416. I bought these wheels in 2018 from a Porsche owner who had only done a few hundred road miles on them and no track use. I've done no more than 50 road miles and one hillclimb so still looking pretty much like new. A change of plan for this year means I no longer need them. The wheels themselves are in good enough condition for track work but would need refurbishing if you were entering a concours competition. One wheel has had a small weld repair. Additional photographs can be provided on request. The centre caps are included in the sale. I have used these wheels on a 987.2 Cayman, they should fit other Cayman or Boxster models and maybe some other Porsches, you should verify this yourself. Offered at £750 or best offers considered.
