Default 996 Turbo Wheels (Hollow Only)

So the 996 Turbo (hollow) wheel has always been my favorite but no NB fitment. Someone on here a while back claimed to have had a set in NB fitment in hollow spoke but I lost his info. I sent an email to Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA:

Me: I was at the Hershey Porsche swap and inquired about these wheels for my 95 Carrera. Are these available in 8x10 ET52 and 10x18 ET65 in hollow spoke?

Response: The 18x10" Hollow spoke is 40mm offset and 65mm. They are not available in the 52 mm. The solid spoke 18x8 is 52 mm.
We do not have any of these rims available at this time.

Wheel Enhancement says they never existed so it was worth a try. Was just trying to shed a few pounds and I do love these wheels.

The RUFs just look right on your car. Maybe go silver if you're looking for a simple change. I think some RS, BBS or CCWs would be appropriate if you really want to change them. (and save some weight)
