New turbo owner, I thought I'd introduce myself.

Picked up this car a few weeks ago. It's a 2001 996 turbo 6 spd with the mini carbon fiber kit. I got a pretty good deal on it, though it needs a few things like tires and brakes and some small fix its. 50k miles. I put the stock wheels back on it and I think I'm going to sell off the SSR GT3's. I'm having an absolute blast with it and can't wait untill summertime.

Congrats! Got myself a 996T in December.

These are beatiful wheels, why are you trying to get rid of them? Are they R19?

I like the wheels but I don't want to pay for the tires for them. They are pretty nice SSR GT3's 3 piece wheels with some curb rashing. Sizes are 19x8.5 and 19x11.5 I believe. Let me know if you are interested in them. I'm not sure what they are worth. I put the stock wheels back on with some Yokohama AD08 tires and I'm going to stick with that. I wanted a combo that would work well for the occasional weekend event as well as the street at a reasonable price and I wasn't happy with the tire choices in 315/20/19.

I think it will look better with stock rims. But I guess it is me, I prefer cars on stock, OEM or BBS rims, nothing else.
