Default 18" lobster claw wheels?

Anyone know if they make the Porsche lobster claw wheels in 18"? I've looked around but have only found them in 19"... I've seen the 19" on a 928 but for my tastes they were just to big. I think they would look Great in 18" on a shark.

I don't think those are what the OP is looking for. These are the lobster claws.



The oem versions only come in 19's but I believe replicas can be had in 18's. Check finish Line Wheels or Wheels and Caps and see if they list them.

WHups, I stand corrected regarding the set I posted.
I thought boxsters got 18s....but perhaps they were replicas after all.

I saw a picture of 18" knock offs on a VW but couldn't find anyone that sold them. IMO, they look perfect on 928's.

Unfortunately those aren't lobster claws either, I realize that's what there calling them and there close but not the same..The pic Cosmo posted up above are the actual lobster claws (not there actual name) that I was looking for.

Thanks
