916, 996, 998 Mag Wheel Confusion - Which Are What?

  1. This is on Ebay from Pro Twins for £750 for the rear and appears injection cast:

    This is on Ebay with large webbing:

    These are on my 998 and have very small ribs...

    And these are on my 996R and appear to be sand cast looking at the finish inside the spokes - no ribs...

    Can anyone decipher the above :)
     
  2. The gold ones on your 996R look like 916 magnesium racing wheels. I had this type on my 916.
    I also had ones like the other gold ones with ribs in the back of the spokes. They are also magnesium but I believe they are the road version.

  7. Just stripping the sheathing (nice word, not sure where I have heard it before :thinkingface:) off the harness as we speak to find the horn wires so I don't have to bodge one on separate to the battery :innocent: then if successful I will send my mode switch back to Bike Sport Developments to reinstate the connectors for the horn button in their multi plug so I can run one of their yummy CNC buttons for the horn (mmm, horn, heard tha.... :eyes:)
    Hope that helps :):upyeah:
