Default 18" Turbo Twist Wheels

Hey guys,

I am planning on replacing the wheels on my 99 C2 cabrio with 18" turbo twists, is there any difference between the boxster 18" twists and the 911 18" twists? I know that I need to have the narrowbody ones, but I seem to see 18x7.5, 18x8, 18x10 for the narrowbody.

Is 18x7.5 or 18x8 the correct front rim?

I am hoping for the hollow wheels.

-Mark

are you sure? i thought the Boxster and narrowbody 911 shared the same offset with just the c4s/turbo having a different requirement.

Sure! Sure!

Offset 996

8 x 18 ET 52
10 x 18 ET 65

Offset Boxster

8 x 18 ET50/52
10 x 18 ET 47

The rear rims of the boxster will fit, but offset is no good!

I think they look different too.. The Boxter twists have a more angular leading edge.
