Carrera S Wheel Trade

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum, so I'm not sure where to post a trade like this, so I thought this might be the best place to try. I just bought myself a 06 Carrera S. It was the exact car I've been looking for, with the exception of the wheels. One thing that I really wanted on the car was the standard Carrera S wheels. So I thought I'd see if there was any member looking to trade a set for Sport Design wheels, for the standard Carrera S wheels. I would consider trades with or without tires. And my Wheels are in mint condition, without one mark on them. If anyone is interested, please let me know.
Thanks everyone

I was hoping to get a trade plus a little cash, as I know the sport design wheels are slightly more expensive. However, assuiming your wheels were in the same condition as mine, I would consider any offers.

I thought the lobster forks were standard on the S.
You're looking for the plain 5 spokes?

From what I know, the carrera S wheels were standard on all Carrera S's. The lobster forks were an option I believe.

Carrera S wheels = "lobster forks" and are not coveted.
Refer to Wheel Enhancement site for easy comparisons.

Are these the wheels you are looking for?

Here's my car and current wheels - 19" Carrera Classic

They are pristine - are they what you are looking for?



And are these the wheels you have? I find pictures usually help as there are many different wheels

OK, the ones you want are referred to as the Lobster Forks.
I've got a set for you. They're sitting in my garage. I was thinking of getting them painted black (with silver edge), but if you want them, they're yours. They've got Michelin PS2's on them with about 70% tread remaining. They're immaculate.
Still not clear which you have for trade.
