Default New wheels = chub-on

I'm very pleased to have bought some 18 inch 993 TT wheels from Doug in Nebraska. He sent them on time, they were in the condition he described, and I am very pleased with the result.

Hats off to a successful Rennlist purchase between strangers!!!

Thanks again Doug!

PS...he has another set for sale...pm me for his contact info

Looks great, did you do the recommended upgrades to run wheels bigger than 16's?

P.S Can't wait to have your 16's on mine

Porsche put out a tech bulletin suggesting the use of these with 17" tires or bigger. Also they recommend staying under 18's

the rubber section of the 968 blocks is way smaller making them better for bigger wheels. FYI you can no longer buy the old style ones. My car already had them when I bought it, but they were replaced by me anyways just cuz.

Twists were available in 17's on the base Boxster IIRC.

Stock from my 87 vs new 968 caster blocks:
