don't know why this doesn't bother more people...
If I could see both sides of my car at the same time, it would bother the heck out of me.

Cool

I have the OEM Dyno Wheels (see Ativar pic) = optional wheels for the 1998 Boxter S. but I mostly favor the factory 993 cup wheels = born to be on all NA 993's!

MY02 5 spokes look awesome on 993s.

I agree they look good, but nothing looks better than turbo twists on a properly lowered 993 imho. And if they're hollow spokes, you're just the man

I'm not much of a twist fan but there's no accounting for taste.

Have seen MY02s on a red 993 at my last track event - looked great. I'll get a set of those eventually.

A bit OT - But from an OCD standpoint, 993s are a symmetrical nightmare. Stand behind it and look at how out-of-whack the left/right rearview mirrors are. Then look inside and notice the steering wheel is not centered over the driver's seat...And it's almost impossible to get the exhaust tips aligned with one another...

I'm saving my money up for a set of MY '02 wheels. I think the thin spokes are what makes them look kewl!

02 5spokes are superb. For some reason, just my opinion, I'd poo poo on turbo twists (993 or 996).

For looks I'd buy Eric's Alesio's.

Or Ruf Modular's like Pong.

That may be true, but he said "turbo twists", and didn't specify "technology" or "hollow spoke", so I was comparing to standard twists.

Wheel choice, like color preference, is a very subjective thing. You should choose the ones that make you happy.

With that said, I prefer the MY02's. Twisted spoke wheels are so, um...." '90's "
