In the market for stock Turbo Twist II Hollow spoke 18" rims for my 2004 TT. I found a couple of offers that say "off my 200x 996TT", but I'd be more comfortable if there was some obvious way to check that they're not cheap knockoffs. Any advice/clues/hints??

Note the parts numbers and the smooth surface on the back side of the spokes. Solid spokes have a groove on the spoke backside.

Many Thanx -- this forum never fails to impress.

The width and offset will also be stamped by the valve stem. For ours you see 8 & 50 on the front and 11 & 45 on the rear.
