Hi Darien,
Cool wheels. From observing another shark with those wheels the fronts just barely squeeze behind the fender lip.
Are those Kumho SPT tires?
How do you like them?
I'm going for either them or the Pirelli Nero. 245/45-17 and 275/40-17.
With stock S4 power I'll probably never break loose the 275 in the dry.
Them rear fenders are real easy to reshape.

Enest,
They are the SPT's and so far they're alright. I haven't had it up to speed in a corner yet though
As for looks they look great and the price was definately right for the 295's

Thanks Darien,
Just in case no one's got on your case yet, can't wait for the new avatar.
Woohooooo.
Don't dare getting any bigger than 17" wheels on them lumpy NY/NJ roads.
Was in Vegas a few years back. Don't think the suspension on the cars there
even moved. Unless one doesn't slow down for the driveways or hotel speed bumps.

I think those are the best looking Porsche wheels to upgrade the 928's. The other popular wheel conversion, the 5 spoke Carrera's look a little frail to me on the 928's. I like the fact that the hollow spokes look a little substantial.

Darien, any chance to get a few photos of the front wheel and it's relation to the outter fender??

I've been looking at these on ebay for a couple weeks, since they first appeared....same turbo II wheels, but with a 60mm offset on the front!! Cheap too at only $600 a set with centercaps! It should fit better on 928's than the 50mm offset...& allow for wider front tires...
The turbo II rim just looks sweet on 928's....11" 45mm rear rim & it fits with a 295 tire.....pretty amazing....

I normally try to get something different, but seems like everyone that has got these loves them as well.
The specs are 8x18 w/ 225/40ZR (50MM) on the front and 11x18 w/295/30ZR (45MM) on the rears.
