I know this is an older post, but I have this same problem (same exact noise as in the video). Resolution? Also, after I drove to lunch today, the noise stopped (for now that is). I'd like to get to the bottom of this... it would be nice to have your findings.

Use a strong chemical stripper (Jasco) and get them powdercoated. I got a powdercoating shop to strip and powdercoat my stock '99 996 rims flat black for about $550. They quoted me $400 if I prepped the rims myself. I do like the flat black look, but in retrospect, I would have put that money into a set of R-comps or saved to get coilovers.

High mile role call
togilvie replied to violaGT3's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I went to hell and back with my '99 C2 996. Three months after purchasing (w/ no warranty), my engine died at 100k miles :angry: . Acquired a rebuilt engine for ~$8k. In the next two weeks, a major leak developed in my overflow coolant tank, so that was replaced (along with hoses). A month later, I had to be towed yet again due to a broken shift linkage. I spent the next couple weeks sorting out CEL problems (due to MAF, and then a deteriorated gas tank seal).... Good lord it was a pain for awhile. At 112k miles now, and I haven't had a problem in 8 months (daily driver), and hope to have plenty of engine life... I absolutely love my car even though I had to traverse through hell. -
