Sport Classic Wheels

just got this back from Porsche Silverstone, is he wrong do you think?

"In regards to the Sport Classic Alloy and Tyres, unfortunately the specification of your current wheels do not match with the Sport Classics, meaning they would not fit your 997.2. I have searched for a narrow body version, as you mentioned, however they are not available."

I believe that to be correct. No narrow body fitment the SC wheels

Looks like I stand corrected. I was under the impression that the wheels from Porsche were only WB and NB fitment from Fuchs.

Nope, searched for a while, (mines C4S) pretty sure only WB fitment available in U.K hence your message from OPC. But they are just so rare second hand, resigned I think to buying new now.

There is plenty of mention of NB fitment on the US forums though. Also if You look at Discos post above there is a UK link :thumbs:

thanks for the info. I asked them to search for the part number supplied by disco above (99736216357) and got this back today;

"The part number you have kindly supplied me with was the exact part I was looking at yesterday.

I have copied below the wheel specifications for both your factory fitted alloys and the Sport Classics:

Factory Fitted:

Fronts: 8J X 19 - ET 57
Rears : 11J X 19 - ET 67

Sport Classics:

Fronts: 8.5J X 19 - ET 55
Rears: 11.5J X 19 - ET 50

As the above alloy specifications differ, I would not be able to say as to whether the Sport Classics would correctly fit your 997.2, as they are not specified for use on this specific model."

So i'm wondering if the link in Disco's post has incorrect info, will drop them an email to check. I have reservations about ordering from sun coast not only because the shipping cost is bound to be quite a bit, but it would be a PITA if any of the wheels had any issues once delivered, scratches etc...
 
I think all OPC's are one dimensional, like when I foolishly asked for a price to fit a 991 Sport Design wheel to a 997.2. They just said it's the wrong part and will not fit, we will contact you ASAP with a solution. Never heard a thing and I fitted the wheel myself which was a direct swap.

The wheels from Suncoast come from Germany. Which is probably the best place to source them? I suspect if you order from either of the sources mentioned they will not actually be available?

As I understand it, the wheels fitted to the 997 Sport Classic were manufactured by an Italian company

Yep but that will be 250 sets fitted to the Sport Classics? ? All the rest are copies manufactured by Porsche i.e. Tequipment?

dont forget when importing from the US 20% import duty as well that will add another $800ish to the price as well as the shipping cost. :thumb:
 
I fitted a set of sport classics / Fuchs to a 997 C2S a couple of years ago
And they were definitely narrow bodyfitment
They came straight from Porsche, with Tyres and Centre caps, even got a nice discount as they'd been in stock at the dealership for a while
 
Love my recent addition of Sport Classic wheels..
