Default 18" turbo twist II's & tires $850

These are hollow spoke replica's of turbo twist II's made in Italy and only about 1 1/2 years old! I Purchased them new for my 968 the fitment is perfect and they look excellent on the car. They are 18" x 8" 50 MM offset and 18" x 10" with 65 MM offset! No curb rash or damage of any kind almost perfect! They tires have about 5K miles on them and are the same age, I just had them remounted and balanced yesterday with the rear tires turned around as my 968 was very low in the back and had lots of camber so the inner was worn with about 15% left so now the inners have about 75% left and the fronts are evenly worn with 75% left! They are a nice soft high performance street tire Falken Ziex ZE512 temperature A, treadwear A, traction A, 265/35 ZR18 rear and 224/40 ZR18 fronts! This is a very clean set of rims and tires with new Porsche center caps, and Z rated valve stems and caps!

Please PM me for details with your E-mail as I have lots of very large pictures for you.

Asking $800 plus shipping! Located in Sonoma, CA 95476

These OE wheels from Italy are made in the same factory as RUF, Techart, and Gemballa wheels! Check out the site I purchased them from

I am VERY interested... Do I need to change any suspension settings or components? How many miles does 75% tread life translate to?

I am about to install the H&R Springs and Koni Struts/Shocks so I want to make sure they will not cause any issues.

Finally, are these the same weight as the stock Turbo Twist wheels???

Thanks!

These wheels have almost 5,000 miles on them, the amount that they will wear for the next owner by mileage is a trick question because the harder you drive the more they will wear! My car had coilovers in front and back with about 1 1/2" lower than stock ride height all the way around and they performed great but the inner rears did wear a lot because of my camber. Like I said I had them all remounted and balanced and they turned the rears around! They did not rub at all and they fit perfect on all '87 and later 944 based cars ie. 968! They are actually lighter than the original turbo twist II's because they never came in 18" x 10" the original fctory rims were 18"x 11" with a different offset for the 996 turbo. These rims were designed for all narrow body 996, 986, 944, 968, 928 cars shortly after the 996 turbo came out.
