For Sale - Porsche Carrera S II 19 Wheels and Michelin PS2 Tires These wheels & tires were originally on a 2009 Porsche 911S. I had the OEM Carrera S II wheels powdercoated and pin-striped in Sept 2010. The tires are Michelin PS2's and I'd say have ~60-70% tread life remaining. Sizes / offsets: Front wheels -- 19" x 8"; ET 57 Rear wheels -- 19" x 11"; ET67 Front tires -- 235/35ZR19 (87Y) Rear tires -- 295/30ZR19 (100Y) The wheels include the OEM TPMS monitors and black center caps with colored crest. I can't guarantee that the TPMS monitors are still active as they have not been on a car in quite a while. One of the rear wheels has some very light scratches on it which are only visible up close/in direct light; I don't think you can see them in the pics. Other than that, they're in perfect condition - straight, true and no curb rash. The red pin stripe is a perfect match to the red calipers on the Carrera S models. One of the tires was plugged and patched at JPA Nashville due to picking up a small nail but presented no issues while on the car. Asking $2,300 for the complete set of (4) wheels and tires (including TPMS and center caps). Must see if seriously interested as the pics don't do them justice! Call, text or e-mail Walt Stabler at 6I5-39O-7337 or w.stabler@comcast.net. PAGE 9

NAMETAGS FOR PICK-UP Many members have paid for nametags, but haven t been to a meeting lately to pick it up. Please come and pick up your nametags. Club Name tags $5 Because of cost increases in name tags, your club is paying more now for each name tag ordered. We also have an inventory of 36 name tags ordered at a dinner meeting, and member has not been seen since. If you ordered a name tag, please come to our next meeting to pick up. If you aren t sure, email me and I will confirm whether you have a name tag in my bag. We will continue to order name tags for members, but cost will return to $5 each which is a good price considering the quality of the name tag. Feel free to wear these at other car club events, including Cars & Coffee, Winterfest, etc. I also have magnets for those members with pin backs who would prefer magnets (thanks Eric).
