Default What are these?
Did these only come on 2005 turbo s? There's little to nothing about them online. Are they rare? Thanks

I believe those are aftermarket wheels that were sold by TireRack. They are sturdy but also heavy.

I think TireRack calls them "Sport Editions"? Looks like they still sell them.

could be, but they looked like a "copy" to me. but then everything nice gets copied, if possible. I had f14's which are copies of what,.. hre's?? all victors are copies near as I can tell. who knows. still didn't look like REAL sport techno's to me, which ARE valuable, and understandably.

They're not real sport techno's, real sport technos look like this, much wider flat face on them vs. the thin spokes shown in the OP's photo. And they're made by BBS.
