Default C4S/TT style turbo twists for NB....

I just can't seem to find even anyone with a picture of these on a NB! People seem to be unable to give away the TT turbo twists, but I can't even find one set for narrow body. Is it that these badboys are practically non-existent?

Here is my narrow body with the C4S/TT look wheels, Turbo bumper and TechArt side skirts

The wheels are replicas, 18x8 Front and 18x10 rear, I love the look. I fit 285/35/18 rear tire with no problem.

Let me know if you need more photos and I'll take some.

The TT/C4S twists were 11" rears, and I think the problem is with the offsets.

In 02 and 03 (not sure about other years) you could order "turbo look" wheels in 8x18 and 10x18 for NB cars

There are lots of narrow body turbo twist style wheels for sale. I usually find 2-3 sets per week.

I picked up a set of hollow spoke turbo twists for my '02 narrow body for track wheels. I ended up with 18x7.5" and 18x10" OEM, and used 16mm spacers in front.

Keep looking, be sure you are checking all of the various classifieds--rennlist, 6speed, pelican parts, PCA, Craigslist, etc.

Also, you could check with Wheel Enhancement, out of Culver City (L.A.), they often have trade-ins available.

Finally, there are tons of replicas. The ones out of Italy are widely available, and while they are slightly heavier than OEM (1-2 pounds), I've never heard anyone report any problem with them and they look identical. There is also a China replica that is stupidly cheap available on eBay, do a search here and you should find the discussion. I think a whole set will cost you under $800 for those.
