Well, now I am officially stuck.
Just bought myself a used "as new " set of 996 hollow spoke turbo wheels on e-bay, ostensibly so I can use cheaper track tires rather than my street tires on the track. I paid $1450.00 for them. What do you guys think of the price? I know its after the fact, but lay it on me. I can take it.

I purchased a set of Turbo Hollow Spokes as well for my C4S. I like the idea of reducing unsprung weight! Mine came with P Zeros for $2000. Does anybody know how to tell for sure that these are real and not knockoffs or solid spokes posing as hollow spokes? They do have the metal valve stems.

I see a few 996 Turbo sets on Ebay, I would imagine they're being replaced with 19" s.
Great deal at that price....I wish they'd fit on my 996 Cab. Actually there's a set of Sport Designs on there right now, but I can't decide....I need new rear tires and I have curb rash which I'm going to have repaired...so I'm looking at close to $1000, so for another $1200 I can get a new stlye/set...what to do? Any thoughts...BTW right now I have the 18" Turbo twists.

That's a better price than mine. Look at the inside. The part numbers should be cast on.
