I would have preferred 18” turbo twists when I found this little lady a few weeks ago, but these work just fine…unless someone wants to swap for the aforementioned! 😬

I have these wheels on my 2000 996 and love them. They really give the car a modern look.

I agree they look more modern. The twists are, to me, a carry over from the 993 do seem to date the car. So it’s sort of a toss-up.

Hey Wondering how'd you obtain -2.8 degrees of camber in the rear?
