Bump, lowered price.

Mille Miglia "Cup 3" Turbo Twist Reps

These wheels fit an early 944 with no spacers! Great condition, 1 has very minor curb rash and 1 has a little more, see pictures below. Hand painted center caps that are fading. Any questions let me know by reply or PM, or email at butterskeith@gmail.com.

I've been married to my wife for 32 years. Tried that one on her and she just looked at me like I was some kind of idiot.

It's a 30 year old car. Changing the wheels wont improve it. Just a suggestion from life experience.

Now if they were 18"s I buy 'em in a heartbeat... I should mention I have 17" Turbo Twists on my '89 and they're fantastic. If I didn't already own a set I'd buy yours. That's a great deal. GLWYS.

BTW, I'm putting 225/45/17s on the front and 255/40/17s on the rear of mine. Sumitomo makes them in that size, I think Yokohama may too. It's a lot of rubber, not expensive and the wheels handle it. To frost the cake, those sizes are almost an exact match for the speedometer/odometer.

Which is all to say I think this would be a most excellent upgrade. Another thing to consider is they vent air better than the stock 16's. Your brakes will thank you.

Great deal! I just picked up a late offset set of these sans tires for $600. Yours are nicer color though (mine are more greyish). And they are lighter than I thought they would be for aftermarket wheels. GLWS!!!

PS - I had to spend the better part of a summer out at Las Cruces once. More power to you...

I'm upgrading to a set of hollowspoke BBS Sport Techno wheels, optional on a few 996 models. They are light as hell, and I picked up a couple sets and had all the fronts powdercoated so I have a full brand new set of 18x8". Square wheel setups are so nice on 944s.

I love Cruces.

These wheels are pretty heavy... But damn do they look good.

Keith I have no idea why I go to great lengths to make off color jokes about 17 and 18s when you don't even bother to put a smiley face on the quote!

Served you well for three years indeed... Dog.

nice one man. i agree. sometimes you just need a change. i'm hoping to secure a set of 18x8.5 and 18x10 Ray TE37's. Should look similar to this:

Always liked how those looked on the 944. Definitely different.

Thanks for the bump! Got a pretty good garage setup at our house and my dad helps out.

I'm gonna be in az next month, we should have a little 944 meet up, I could probably get 5 or 6 people to show with theirs. Maybe pavilions car show or something.

Edit: oh wait, what's this "951 RIP" in your sig?

Bump, surprised there's no interest... Commented in a wheel thread a few months back saying I had a set I'll be selling this spring - people were all over me. Guess it's the wrong season for wheels!
