Well, after religiously scouring craigslist everyday for the past few months, I finally found a good deal on a set of wheels.

They're Kinesis K18R, 18"x8" and 18"x10".
They were being sold by a high end car dealer, and they were taken off a NB 996.
The guy selling them called them "Kinetic" wheels, listed them as 18"x9" and 18"x11", and spelled Porsche wrong on the craigslist add...twice.
I think that's why they were relisted a couple times. No one was searching for "Porche" on craigslist.

I also picked up some brand new tires off craigslist.
225/40/18 and 285/30/18, Sumitomo HTRZ II.

I'm having them mounted and balanced this weekend, but I probably won't put them on the car for a month or so. It's still too cold outside for summer tires.

Did you find those in Canada?

Going to be in Vancouver next week... if they are gone from your garage you will know where they went Of course that will require some Air Canada extra baggage charges, but I am sure that will ocst less than the UPS charges on my most recent wheels...

There was a set on Ebay that looked just like them and they were like $298 plus shipping and no one was bidding on them.

...Are you looking for brakes? ...Or, one brake?

Wallace

Heh. Thanks everyone.

I'll definately post pics when they're on the car.

Ya, I found them local. Only 10 minutes from my work.

Sadly, for the past couple months, I have been checking craigslist like every 2 hours. When I saw the ad, I left work early with cash in hand.

You have to be ready to pounce.

Those are sweet! I'm actually looking for a pair just like those for my car.

Btw, for anyone who is interested, you can search Craigslist nationwide just by going to Google and typing the following.. (but minus the "+")

Craigslist + "whatever you're looking for in quotation marks"

I've found numerous deals this way..

I wish Craigslist supported searching via the state, cause I hate having to search ALL the citys for the same thing.

what happened to your old bbs wheels wallace?

Wallace

I sold them about a year ago.

They were knock-off BBS LM's, and they were HEAVY.

I weighed these Kinesis K18's on my bathroom scale, and they were about 21lbs for the fronts and 23lbs for the rears.
