Look on this site under the "Wheels and Tires" forum. There are some 18" on there right now.

Call Wheel Enhancement. They are very familiar with what will and will not fit most Porsche models (no affiliation, just a satisfied customer).

You can also try here.

Used wheels show up from time to time on the for sale forum here on rennlist, as well as the classifieds. Just gotta keep looking.

Tire Rack will have a host of new options with proper fitment for your car - just put in your year and model, click on wheels and voila, your choices!

As said above, Wheel Enhancement has a variety of choices as well - OEM styles, etc.

I was aware of both of these just wondering if anyone is running anything else. I like the CCW's. Im not looking for looks, its all about strength and weight.

Thanks

What tires and size are you running. I'm looking at Nitto NT01's. 245-40-18 Fronts and 315-30-18 Rears.

Thanks

Agree with Mavthenav. There always seem to be OEM Turbo Twists on all the forums mentioned plus Craigslist. This may be controvertial but if money is tight I would get cheap aftermarket wheels that I thought looked great for the street and use my OEM wheels on the track where they will be stressed and you can't risk malfunction.
