I found this online
The 18 inch twist wheels for the 993 come in a hollow spoke version (referred to as "Technology Wheels by Porsche), and a solid spoke version (referred to as "Turbo-Look") Both versions appear identical from the street view.
Basically there are two different 8x18" twist wheels for the front , hollow spoke (technology) and solid spoke (turbo-look)
because the front fenders on all 993, narrow and wide body, are the same, these wheels will fit from car to car. they have a 52mm offset.
There are four different 10 x 18" wheels for the rear. Widebody offset of 40mm in both solid and hollow spoke. Narrowbody offset of 65mm in both solid and hollow spoke.

[QUOTE=ilko;9013493]^^^Those are the original turbo twist wheels for the 993TT. Your initial post was about the 996TT twists.
Ah, I see the difference now. I need to check the part numbers..... I will this weekend.

As Iko said, your initial post was inquiring about 996 Hollow Spoke/Turbo/Twist/Technology wheels in narrow body offset. I don't believe such a wheel was ever made to fit the rear of a narrow bodied car (65mm offset).
As to the "turbo twist" wheels for narrow body 993s, they are available in solid spoke and hollow spoke. As you said, the hollow spoke were officially called "technology" wheels. My 97 was so equipped from the factory (option code 408). The hollow spoke/technology wheels are quite common for the front as they fit NB and WB application. Rear hollow spoke/technology wheels with a NB offset (65mm) are much more difficult to find and are usually priced accordingly.

OEM 996 turbo twist wheels do not exist in hollow spoke for a NB rear fitment. They do, however, exist in solid spoke form for a NB rear fitment. http://944racing.de/felgengewichte.php
OP - with the rear weight bias of the 993, what convinces you that the weight savings to be gained from hollow spoke vs. solid spoke in the rear are necessary? If you've come to that conclusion and want to stay OEM, get the 993 turbo twists, available in NB hollow spoke.
