post up the specs (size, width, offsets) FIRST and then we can let you know if they will fit.

+1..... Most front wheels will fit, the rears that are 11x19 et 67 will fit as well, depending on your ride height.

As the others have said, get the specs before you buy the wheels, particularly the offsets. The list of owners of NB cars that have bought wheels that don't fit is very long. Remember that the higher the offset number the further in the wheels are from the fender. NB wheels have higher offsets and WB wheels have lower offset. Spacers reduce the offset. So if a NB owner buys WB wheels you can't just put on spacers as they move the wheels even farther out. If a WB owner buys NB wheels spacers will usually solve the problem.

+1 on the above.

Nice looking C2. What kind of spoiler did you attach? It's subtle, but I kinda like it.

My neighbor has a 2000 996 cab with the same spoiler...was fitted when new under the Porsche Exclusive program.

PS: I have a nearly identical '99 cab, Guards Red, with hardtop.

nice GR Cab; very different with the hardtop too. If you're looking for black wheels, FLY996's BBS' wheels on your car would look awesome.
