Typhoon, I just updated my pic on first page, much better pic for you to see those wheels on a dark car.

Thanks, looks like I am going to be upgrading to these!

Sinfulsteve, I see your running 295/30's rather than 285/30's. Any reason for this??

Also does anyone know the part numbers for hollow and solid spokes?

Cheers

Thank you Mark and Typhoon, it is appreciated!

Typhoon, what size tires are you going to run up front? If you go with 235's then 295's should be fine. However if you're going to run 225's, I would suggest sticking with 285's or smaller on the rear. I'm currently running the 225/285 combo and may even go with 235's in front.

Gregg...

Are your rims from a 2005 Turbo S ? I just passed on a set because I thought the "GT Silver" color (only found on the TT S) would clash with the Arena Red....opted for the same rim in the brighter finish. Will post pics next week after they're on.

Have to say, after seeing them on your car...I might have missed a unique look.

They are current Turbo hollows (8J & 11J 18s) and as mentioned, painted a color I picked to get away from the bright silver.
Personally I like their weight & utility.........and never been a raving huge fan of the look of the wheel (partly because I always thought AG cheaped out by not having right & left twists).......they do give a mean look however to a black 993 (IMHO).

Hi, I'm running 295s becasue the tires came with the wheels. Also, the rears are 11 inches wide, not ten.
