I like the Technology Twist style (although I don't have them...yet!) because the sweep to the spokes really complements the aggressive look of the cars. 928 International also sells a 3 piece twist, but maybe the bolts around the edge takes away from the refined, polished, and elegant sense of the car anyway.

Chaadster,

Are those the same ones in my Avatar? I'm told that mine are FRH brand. Waiting impatiently until FedEx arrives friday. Go FedEx... See "What Brown Can Do To You". Those are my actual wheels.

Thanks,

Ron

Ok, since my tagging wasn't working (html tagging, no jokes!), I'll just use the easy way here...

Cool

Personally, I prefer the Fikse FM10's, but they are waaaaayyy out of my price range. I had the turbo twists on my '82, and my '91 S-4 came with them

Richard- the FM-10s you reference- any closer pics? In my searched I've not come across them. Or, are they a version of the Carerra lightweights as your sig suggests?

Mark,

The FM-10's are made by Fiske, and Barry J posted a pic above...

I personally prefer the look of the Turbo Twists most, but Dave's Cup wheels are a close 2nd.
I currently have the Design-90's but hope to purchase some twists someday. Here are my Design-90's:

BigDave - - cup wheels look awesome. Looks like the car is about to take off!
In the past, the cup wheels looked a bit boring, but yours don't. Are they a polished silver (different color/finish than the standard cups)? Obviously, I don't know much about the various cups - if available.
