Does anyone have a pic of the 997 turbo wheels on a 928?

Dan,
Fronts: 235/40 -18
Rears: 285/35 -18

The tires really fit the wheels perfectly. Makes sense consider they're the original ones as supplied by Porsche.

Lots of info on the CIII's here

There is a local car that has these same wheels and I always admire the look. IMO one of the better choices

I bought a staggered set, but haven't got them installed yet. Mine came with 235/40-18 and 265/40-18 (too tall).

Your rears look great!

Thanks

Sorry guys I don't like the turbo rims on the 928. They always remind me of the wheels always found on Hotwheels cars no matter the make or model.

He didn't like them?

To me they give a sense of "lightness".

Aside, I find other rims soo... common?
