Default Which wheels?
i cant decide between 18' turbo twists or MY 02 5 spoke. my car is red and have looked at many pics but cant make up my mind.
pro's for:
turbo twist-it is a 993 "era" wheel.
MY 02 - looks updated but spokes ar a bit thin?

any suggestions...thanks

I was at RUF Dallas this morning and admired those wheels on a 965. I love them too, but hear they are heavy. Hans called them anchors.

don't get the twists.

they twist one direction on one side, and the other direction on the other.
don't know why this doesn't bother more people...
