Find out what they are and try a trade for some OE twists.

Look like the Victor Equipment knockoffs of Fuchs to me but those aren't anywhere near $6300. What does the receipt say they are?

I agree completely; at first I thought it would be the best look evah, to have an old school black/silver Fuchs in modern sizes on a Turbo. But every picture I've ever found on the internet made me glad I hadn't gone that route.

Fuchs with deep dishing look great up to 17" (see Singer.) Beyond that, and with the more flat offset our cars require, not so much.

The link says it fits Turbo, 06-09 and 10-12. Doesn't mention needing spacers; the wheels are 8.5 and 11.5".

My OEM SportTechnos (2004) fit WB or NB as is; you just add 17mm spacers for WB according to Porsche. (I added 30mm in the back and 15mm up front; looks much much nicer.)

why not advertise a trade : twists for them. Heck used twists go for under a grand up here in Canada, that's under 750 for you guys. I bought a set with winter tires for CDN $600.

I'd like too, rubbers are only a few months old. What's the protocol on listing stuff, I don't want to violate any rules.

ask your wife if you can spend $25 for a rennlist membership and then you can list them for trade here and in the for sale section...tell her spending $25 will save you spending $2500 for wheels (just giving you a hard time).
