NYDolfan -

Where I got 'em - where I get most everything! (Including the car!) - eBay!

Paid $999 with the tires...P-Zero's with 70+% tread left!

They have the color crest centers AND the Porsche color crest valve stem caps.

Very nice. I think the Turbo Twist is becoming my new favorite wheel for 928s. Damb, only had these Cups for 10 months. Any idea why the seller was getting rid of them? - Ruf

Here's a set of 18" Turbo Twists on eBay currently less than $200.00. Anyone have experience with 18" wheels on a shark?

Those wheels on eBay are from Corey at Planet 911. I have purchased from him in the past, and would not hesitate to do so again.

The front offsets should be 62mm to 65mm. I know that down to 52mm will fit OK with 225 width tires. The lower the number, the tires will be closer to the outside of the fender.

Those wheels will fit, but it it'll be tight in the front. If the car is at the correct ride height, and you don't track the car, they'll be OK.

I'd be very careful with 18" wheels anyway - potholes are not your friends.

My PO put the same size tires on the front wheels as on the rear wheels (16") and they will rub the front fenders at full lock. Will the correct size fronts stop this from happening?

I knew something looked different about the direction of the wheels - or is it just me? I have always liked them on the blue 928.

Jerry -
That's how mine looks on the other side! Do yours have opposite twists on the other side?
