Looking at these. In the parts area of Rennlist.

Anyone have them on their car? Offsets of 50 seem like they could work

Thanks,

No offset is too low for front.

18x8 et50 up front has been used for years without any issues. Yes the further away you get from the factory et65-et70 the ackerman effect is noticeable, most don't seam to mind or ignore it.

BUT, most people choose this compromise since the wheels are usually inexpensive (under $1000 for the set, sometimes with tires).

At $3,200..... that is a lot of money for a wheel that isn't quite right for the car.

If you like that look you can get a set of turbo twists with the correct offset at less than half that price.

Thanks for the input... forgot about the offsets and handling.

Just sold my older turbo twists that came on my 2004 996TT cabrio. I put them on for a little bit and they fit (rubbed slightly) but did make the car handle bad.

Yes, for $3,200 it doesn't make sense at all, was just curious on fitment and look but forgot about offsets.

Thanks,
Bryan
