Wide body (turbo/2s/4s) wheels have different offsets in the rear.

For appearance of twists, go here:

I bought mine directly from www.hartmannwheels.com (no affiliation). They are 18x8.5 front and 18x10 in the rear with the correct offsets for a NB. The front tire is a 225/45/18 and the rear is a 265/40/18. They do not rub at all even with a substantial drop.........

Solid spokes on the black C4. Hollows on the arena 4S. Can't tell the difference between the face of the rims though......

Are the weights the same as the factory solids? I love the 996 TT style wheels and am wondering what the weights would be?

My NB has 235 front and 275 rear on 19's. I can go wider in the back. I've heard with some rolling you can get 295 back there.

Here are my TTwists in 18" (265's in this photo - pre lowering)

I didn't weigh the wheels, but the research that I did said that the weights were "comparable".

Weight on the aftermarket copies is 2 to 5 lbs more than the already-heavy OEM solid twists.

600 bucks with tires - 150 to ship:

https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/399272-price-reduced-set-of-ok-18-porsche-twists-solids.html

Hey guys - get'em while they last. 'ok' 18" solid twists with Pirelli tires for narrow body 993. They are Porsche rims. The two front rims are good, one has a nasty rash mark next to the stem area and whatever the PO contacted, it also rubbed the tire and caused a minor sidewall bulge. One rear is brand new, the other has some minor scratches here and there that would finish out real nice. They roll true and round. No caps! (I would replace the one front tire though) I prefer the 17" Cup wheels on my car.

Fronts - Pirelli, PZero Asimmetrico 225/40/18ZR - tires are 90%. Rims 993.362.134.06, 7.5JX18 - ET 50

Rear - Pirelli PZero Asimmetrico 265/35/18/ZR - even wear, 85%. Rims 993.362.140.04, 10JX18 - ET 65

$600.00 bucks, local pickup in Northern VA area or $150.00 bucks shipped. Paypal preferred. First PM gets first dibs.
