If you havent' found anyone, I have 2 sets of chrome, (factory dark/not plated) twists and 1 set silver. the silver rears have some curb rash, but I'm willing to have them refinished first if you want them. All three sets 18 x 10 18 x 8 et65 rear, et50 fronts, I think 50 could be 52 or something. I also have 2 rears that are 18 x 10 with et 40. They are painted midnight blue metallic, but I could have them re-painted as well. All of the wheels are straight, if you don't mind having them being refinished (my expense). I have three cars with an extra set of wheels for each, so I'm wheel poor you might say. Live in Atl area, so you can look at wheels b4 refinished. There is a place on PIB I hear is pretty good, but I know there are better shops on your side of town if you want to pick.

I might be interested in a swap. I have hollow twists but unfortunately have curb rash on two of the wheels. I'm sure wheel enhancements or somewhere like that could fix for relatively cheap. I would be willing to take this into consideration. PM me if you are interested.

Edit: By the way, I am located in Gainesville.

24FPS,
Yep, I bought them from a guy that had them on his 996 and they're 10" rears. They don't rub, but I suspect they might if my car was lowered. As mentioned in my thread opener, they're 285/30s. Here's another pic from a different angle that shows the offset a little better:

On second look, you're right Bobby, those are Gemballas. They must have a slightly larger offset so the rear tires stay tucked in the wells better than with the Roocks.

I think the challenging part for you is that your wife will think you are considering buying whatever you happen to be babysitting....look what happened w/ the 993
