I was thinking about purchasing the Ruger Mesh for my 997.2. Below are the specs. This is my first time purchasing rims so Im not sure if these wheels are considered light or if they are even good in general. Any input?

Also, should I go with the 8.5 or 11? My friend said if its to wide, it will cause the car to pan by itself which is dangerous.

19x11 29lbs

 

Hey there,

Those wheels should fit your 997.2 without issues. They are actually no different than the ones that already come optioned (or standard for some models) on the 997 which is usually 19X8.5 (F) and 19X11 on the rear. Visit this thread.

 

Great thanks!

 

You do realize the wheels on your car have a staggered fitment, right?

 

Hey, he's a 911 noobie.

I love my satin charcoal rugers!

 

911noob,

The Ruger line from Avante Guarde are specifically made for Porsche so they are hub centric and have the proper offsets. (Plus include proper sized bolts and porsche centre caps - at least from all sponsors here)

(The non-porsche Ruger Mesh are the M310 if I remember right).

As stated the wheels are 8.5 in front and 11 in rear. As for weights they are a couple pounds heavier than most of the OEM wheels.

JP - love the wheels with the powder coat!! How do you find cleaning them?

 

Cleaning them, like any mesh wheel is a PITA. at least the powder coat finish helps with the cleaning process....

to the OP, don't beat yourself up man, we're all noobs at some point......good luck brother

 

I could say the same with your avatar!

thanks!

I have the Rugers in matte black on my silver 997.2 and they look fantastic. No fitment issues other than needing longer bolts than the ones that went with my previous wheels. They went on just before the holiday madness started, so I still need to take some pics...
