Default Anyone put 997 Turbo wheels on a NB 993?

I did a search and did not see any pics of this. Several people thought the wheels are gross. A friend has a set on his 997 C2S and it looks fantastic. Any pics would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jake

offsets are way off for your car so you'd have to look at aftermarket replicas if you want the look

I'm assuming that these are the wheels you're referring to. I've seen them on widebody 993, there's an Arena red 993 turbo in the Atlanta area with them. But, no I haven't seen them on a narrow body car. The offset would be incorrect.
Like David mentioned though there are aftermarket options available, Ebay has replicas of these, and they are very inexpensive. Though I'm not sure about the quality.

I had the Turbo offset wheels on my 993TT. They fit pretty good. You may want to try the Cayman version of the same wheels....

That is the wheel I like. I did see the EBAY specials and they say they fit the 993 NB cars in a 18". I don't know if they are forged like the originals. Anyone have any experience with the fit of these on a 993 NB? My car will not be tracked....but I also don't want to break a wheel while driving hard on the street.
