SOLD: Fikse Profil 10 for 997 Narrowbody, TPMS & new PS2s

Fikse Profil 10 built for narrowbody Porsche 997 cars (997, 997S, GT3). Can be used on a widebody with appropriate spacers and longer bolts at the rear.

19 x 8 offset 45mm front, “out” about ½” from stock – perfect fit and wider stance!
19 x 11 offset 57mm rear, “out” about ½” from stock as well – like using 10mm spacers.

Slightly used with just 3 very minor issues I can find: 1 small area of minor shallow rash that could be sanded and polished, 1 smaller area of slightly deeper rash that could be cleaned to blend, and 1 very tiny ding and scratch that is very hard to see even when you are looking for it. Somebody that knows about aluminum wheels might be able to make these virtually disappear. The “insides” are typical of aluminum race wheels – there’s a patina that could be polished out if desired. From a few feet they look brand new, if you inspect from 12”, you can find the 3 very minor issues – but you have to be looking for them.

Mounted and balanced with TPMS sensors and unused Pilot Sport 2 tires in 235/35-19 and 295/30-19 Porsche N1 – stickers are still on the tires.

To replicate this set would cost:

Wheels with Fikse center caps, $5062
PS2 Tires, $1598
TPMS Sensors, $500
Mount & Balance, $60
Total, $7220

Asking $4,000 plus shipping, a savings of almost 45% and 3 months of waiting for them to be built. PM your email address for more photos and close-ups.

Had these sold within a couple of days of posting, but in the end the buyer backed out. So, new price for quick sale - $4,000!

I'm not sure, but maybe... 996 GT3 wheels are 8" front and 11" rear, with et 50 and 63 from what I remember. OEM 997 wheels are same 8" front and 11" rear with et 57 and 67. 7mm difference is only about 1/4". In order to get them a perfect match, you'd want to add 7mm spacer to the front and 2mm spacer to the rear (doesn't exist).

In this case, the wheels were built with et 45 and 57, so the front will look perfect, while the back might want a little spacer, like a 5-7mm? I think you might try them and find they are fine just the way they are, but if not, then to get a 5mm spacer for the rear with some longer bolts is pretty easy.

Oh, I do not have TPMS. Could that be removed?

TPMS run about $500 now, so in theory if you didn't want them, you could have them removed and the wheels re-balanced and sell the sensors off and then maybe sell them off for enough to pay for the new valves and balancing. They aren't hurting anything being in the wheels, so I wouldn't bother.

Thanks much - Any chance of you bringing your car to Dan Jacobs' for the June PCA meeting? Would be nice to introduce you to my son and see the wheels on the car
