Post 993 front hollow spoke technology wheels

Anybody hear of an ET50 technology hollow spoke wheel before?

It would have a part # of 993-362-134-05, dimensions: 7.5 x 18

The reason that I ask is because I thought that the standard offset for a front 993 wheel is 52. If so, where did this wheel come from?

I got this info from some 944 owners. Would this be a special wheel made specifically for 944 owners?

Thanks!

Jeff

This wheel was used on the front of the 996 and Boxster.

Thanks Viken. You're awesome!

Interesting how they retained the 993 part prefix even though it is not used on a 993 anymore!

That's because the wheel was the same style as introduced on the 993. It is a very common practice at Porsche.

Jeff, the next time you're under your car take a look at the crankcase, you'll notice that the part number starts with a 964. Something I also found strange the first time I saw it.
