I don't know if PA people are allowed to use it unlike Chitown folks...

Dell, I spotted these on Ebay while looking for a fastener for my wheel. They are Champoin/Kinesis wheels. They are 19 inch, but they sure would look gorgeous on your turbo. At $2899. they are not cheap...but, I probably have that into mine after powdercoating. Black is so easy to keep clean. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kines...Q5fAccessories

I bought a set of the eBay Champion replicas last year for about $600. Two minor issues that don't bother me (too much), the casting of the centers is a little rough and they are heavy. The offsets are right though and the fit my NB car nicely. The problem that keeps me from recommending them (if you can still find them) is that the hub bores are not machined to an exact size, just cast 'slightly' large. There is a slight, but noticable vibration that is not there with the stock wheels. I've wrapped the hubs with a little teflon tape and it has helped, but it's still not perfect.

What about a set of OZ's? They come in 18s for a turbo. Tire Rack sells them for $1500.set. Picking is slim..

The OZ wheels look great but more for a track wheel. Don't think I like them for a street wheel. I love the Technos so I'm in no rush

^ I was wondering that. I like the Technos better than twists which everyone and their cousins are wearing.
