Default Christmas in May! TechArt Formula 18" wheels arrived today

A set of 8.5x18 ET50 and 10.5x18 ET42 Formulas (Formulae?) arrived on my front porch today! If anyone's looking for a data point, the 8.5's weigh 22.75 lbs, and the 10.5's weigh 26.0 lbs. These were weighed on a doctor's scale that is calibrated to be accurate within .25 lb.

I can't wait to get them mounted up too, but I'll have to wait for the car to get here on the Intercity truck (C4S inbound!) in a week or so. As soon as I get the wheels on her, there's be plenty of pics coming...

Those are some of the best looking wheels available for the 993, imho. Congrats, they're hard to find too.

Love these wheels! Does anyone know if they will fit NB cars? I thought I heard these will only fit WBs.

here's the technical data sheet from Techart for the Formula GT wheel family.
As you can see, there is a special version for NB rear wheel with different offset.

I'm also looking for set to my 993 cabrio as i already installed Techart exhaust set
