I run no spacers.

You might be able to run something like 5mm spacers in the rear, but the 17mm sport techno spacers are really big. I also run H&R wheel studs and OE porsche aircooled wheel nuts instead of the stock wheel bolts, though stock wheel bolts (normal length, not longer if your current spacers require) would also work fine. The wheels are 14mm ball seat, same as factory wheels.

Don't get the OEM twists; that will help keep my Turbo more unique among Turbos

Default I have a set of the GT3 style wheels...

Yes, I agree the GT3 style wheels are pretty hard to find... I do happen to have this set for sale now though if anyone's interested:

I actually like the Twists, but must admit that the HREs look very, very nice on these cars. Like everything else, get what YOU like ( and can justify in the ole wallet).

The Sport Technos new for $2.5k or the GT3 style for sale above both seem like great options.

Twists have been hard to find in good condition for a reasonable price for a few years, especially if original.

I'm leaning toward the GT3 wheel, as I am told that 2004 is the only year they put those on the Turbo...Thoughts?
I have a set I'll sell. They are OEM BBS Turbo Twist off a 2004, black. One has been refinished, so all four are in beautiful shape. Painted center caps. They were new take-offs, so very little mileage, no rash.
