Well, they're not hollow. But I agree that they look great.

I still haven't found any wheel I like more. I appreciate the more aggressive wheels, but the 18" Turbo Twists really match the 993 widebody style.

What's wrong with me, guys?

^^ Then I'm sure you know Rick's a BBS dealer. He could fix you up with a set of these.
I'm definitely ready for MMC's opening day. Did you buy any of Arrwin's raffle tix?

Such a difficult decision to make on wheels for the 993...most of what's been posted would be nice to have!

Bang for the buck/look I think the 996tt are hard to beat. Mine are finished with gunmetal on the spokes and black in the barrel...they always look "clean" which is great. Much better steering feel than the 993 solid spokes too.

If money was no issue I would probably get the BBS's with diamond black centers (Mark, wanna trade???)

Mine are chrome 18' turbo's - but I covet black wheels (like on SA mike's turbo)

Is that the euro turbo bumper and S chin spoiler? the front (well the whole car) looks absolutely perfect!

The brake ducts look sinister on these cars...where is the best place to buy a set?

Seeing all these great pics is giving me even more ideas and hence the slope is steeper and more slippery.

Dark grey is my choice. Black on black looks too "agressive"

I like BBS product overall and had a set of CH's on a BMW recently, but on the Porsche 911, I have felt that the "bulbous" body looks better with a rather lithe wheel. my nod goes to the traditional lace wheels by FIKSE. they are forged and also available with black or charcoal centers.

If you are interested I have a set of 18" Kinesis wheels. Polished lips with black centers. Sizes are 315 rears and 235 fronts. They have the correct offset, I had them on my 996 Twin turbo. They are very lightweight and would look great on your car. Tires ar almost new Michelins Pilot sports 2's. You can reach me at 248-631-7660
