Default What wheels do I have?

Hi,

I have 993 C2 with Turbo look wheels.

Yesterday I did some work with my brakes in the front and I have always wondred if I had the hollow spokes turbo wheels.

these where the numbers i could find on my front wheels 993.362.136.04

the ET was 52 I think.

thank you

Not hollow spoke according to this:

Could it be .01 instead of .04?

The hollow spoke wheels have the metal valves, and are not ribbed at the back. They are rare on a n/b and look lovely.
Regards.

^^^^
What he said.
Turbo hollow spoke = metal valve stem, flat back on spoke
Turbo-look = rubber stem, ribbed back on spoke (2 deep channels)

Here is what I found on another post about the wheels, offsets, and part numbers….

Part numbers:
Hollow turbo twist (aka Turbo I)

8 J x 18 H2 52.0 993 362 136 00
10 J x 18 H2 40.0 993 362 140 00
10 J x 18 H2 65.0 993 362 140 01

Solid turbo twist (aka Turbo Look I)

8 J x 18 H2 52.0 993 362 136 01
10 J x 18 H2 40.0 993 362 140 03
10 J x 18 H2 65.0 993 362 140 04

Solid turbo twist (aka Turbo Look I, High Gloss)

8 J x 18 H2 52.0 993 362 136 07/08
10 J x 18 H2 65.0 993 362 140 07/08
Offsets:
The wide body cars use the 40 mm offset on the rear
The narrow body cars use the 65 mm offset on the rear

A wide body car can use the 65 mm offset wheel if you use a 25 mm spacer

Remove that piece of tape.

It looks like you'll find another "0" under there. The part of the number that is visible does not look like part of a "4". It is too rounded at the top and what's visible looks just like the zero next to it.

If it is a zero, then you have the hollow spokes.

I looked around and cannot find any reference to any wheel with the numbers 993 362 136 04
