SOLD

stace

a picture of the back of the wheel may be helpful. there was a hollow and solid version of this wheel. the hollow spoke version is worth quite a bit more and by looking at the back its obvious. GLWS!

Meenrod

He says Turbo twists - so those are hollow, no? As in, supplied to Turbo cars.

The twists on the C4S are solid. Or so I thought.

No, it doesn't mean they are solid or hollow. Lots of people call them turbo twists or just twists, doesn't necessarily mean that they came from a turbo. These wheels did not come from a turbo or a C4S.
The part numbers posted in the OP's post indicated solid spoke narrow body fitment.

Meenrod

Very good, thank you.

So these are not turbo Twists.

Everybody calls these turbo twists, not sure why you are dissing him. He gave the part numbers, which speak for themselves. If they were hollow, price would reflect it.

Sorry if I gave the impression I was dissing him or the wheels!

GLWS!

I think those are narrow body offset solid spokes.

I believe the hollow spoke wheels, standard on the turbo, were actually called 'Technology' wheels with Turbo twist generically used for others of similar design ie solid spoke.

Greg Wolfe

Sorry guys, was not trying to misrepresent the wheels. I just thought they were called turbo twists, my bad. That is the reason I included the part numbers. It appears they are for a NB 993 car which also fits the WB 964's. I was also told they will fit 996 cars as well. Appreciate the insight! Also, if you have an opinion on my price, please share.

I looked up the part numbers and one came up "Turbo Look" in Porsche published literature. One of the part numbers was not listed in my USA parts catalog CD-ROM file However it may have been a newer part number from after the CD was published. I looked at several publications and it seemed unclear as to which offsets fit which model.
Here is what Sunset shows:

Wheel - Porsche (993-362-136-01)

• Positions:Front
• Other Names:Turbo Look I Wheel 8
• Description: Front, 18x8, 4s. Front, 7.5 x 18, painted. (confusing??)

Wheel - Porsche (993-362-140-04)

• Positions:Rear
• Other Names:Turbo Look I Wheel 1
• Description:Rear, 10 x 18, painted.

Front, 7.5 x 18 is for the early 996 - the 993 part number remained, but a 7.5 width was never an option on 18's for a 993.

As Stated, Turbo Twists were also called Technology wheels or even Cup III I think.. . The term doesn't indicate hollow or solid- that was an option- and there are different part numbers. I have both- the hollow spoke wheels are harder to find- especially in WB offset. You CAN fit the wheels posted on a WB car- no spacers up front needed, but you'll need 25MM spacers in the back- FYI.

Greg Wolfe

Thanks for all of the information and help guys.

Stock on a Turbo is the hollow spoke "Technology" wheels per Porsche literature. Optional on non-Turbo's was the "Turbo Look" solid spoke wheels per Porsche literature (they weigh about 6lbs more per wheel). It is as straight-forward as that.

"Turbo Twists" is a Porsche community nickname for wheels of that style, with people noting them as "hollow Turbo Twists" or "solid Turbo Twists".
