believe it or not, I never bought a car with these wheels before are they cup 3's? sorry for the poor pictures but they are cell phone.

They almost look like Boxster twists in 18 inch... are they 17s or 18s, any chance they are replica wheels?



I have a OEM set of these sitting in my driveway right now... I replaced them with carrera 5 spoke MY02 wheels (18s)....

lart951

they are 17's

Boxster twists... 17 inch OEM, or could be a replica set... I believe the OEM were the only ones to have the dimensions cast next to the valve, but I could be wrong, pull one and look for the PN on the inside... I got my set for $350 needing refinished...

Here they are on my car...

Looks nice...

THNX, as does yours...

But I like the new wheels better.. And now I can bleed the brakes without removing the wheels... took fluid swap down to below a 10 minute job with the power bleeder...

I also believe them to be Boxster wheels there were 2 kinds of twists on a boxster those being one of them .just to refresher for all of us .. those wheels sometimes called "turbo twist" as seen on a 993 turbo
are they also called cup 2's or 3's

gt37vgt

ah ok those bubble spoke things are cup 2's

and the turbo twist things are cup 3's

JohnKoaWood

Turbo twists are different... (993 version)


turbo type 2 (996 version)


Boxsters came with Lobster Claws


tec twists


and the boxster twist... (also available on base model 996s...)


funny stand out for the boxster twists is the direction of the twist... it is opposite that of the turbo twist wheels...
