Default WTB: 17-18" Wheels

Just as the title reads, more interested in lighter wheels. I'm a fan of the 17" turbo twists (factory porsche).

I've got to fit the wheels over the 993tt calipers. I think you need at least 17" to do that.

Can anyone in SoCal help me out?

You certainly can! I'm not currently in the market, but is it true that Fikse is now based in Canada?

Update:

Found a great set of Turbo Twists

Fronts - 7.5Jx18 ET50 - 993.362.134.06 - 225/40 ZR18 P-Zero's
Rears - 10Jx18 ET52 - 993.362.138.01 - 265/35 ZR18 P-Zero's

They are fantastic because they bolt right up without any spacers or anything. The tires only have about 2k miles on em too.

Any thoughts on the white paint? I didn't like it at first, but, I think it looks good with the color of my car. They even have a silverish stripe on the edge

$550 for all 4
