Default New turbo owner, I thought I'd introduce myself.
2005 turbo s here are few pics...
Doing some research found out that the car came with gt2 wheels from the factory. I know its been lowered with H&R springs I dont know if I like it or not yet. Door sticker indicates 06/05 production. If there is anything else you guys can add I would really appreciate since the car came with very minimal paperwork. Got a good deal I think 50k.

I have been reading about the turbo s and yes i see that most of them came with 8 inch fronts and rears 11 inches, but I got the hold of the option sheet from my local AD and here it is option "418 T RAD Turbo 2 18" GT- Silber" GT 2 silver wheels and I got new tires front 235/40/18 rear 315/30/18 (pricey tires pirelli's)
Thanks for all your comments. WHAT A CAR!!!

The 05 GT2 came with Twists as well. Not sure what the difference is between TT twists and GT2 twists.
