Default these turbo twist wheels look different?
These turbo twist looks like that have a little different shape then what I am used to.? these seem to have flat edge on the spoke where most seem smooth. On a 2003 model.

Yup, they could be ordered as an option for our cars. They are made by BBS and are hollow spokes so they are lightweight. I think they are pretty unique as most cars were ordered with the regular twists.

I have a set of these that came on my C4S. If you get them you'll probably want to get some spacers. Porsche offered them as an option, don't know why they did not include the spacers as part of the package or specify the correct offset to fit the wide body cars.

I understood that if a wide body car was ordered/built with them, they came with a pair of OEM Porsche 17mm spacers for the rear.

Yes, spacers for wide body 996, no spacers for normally aspirated. I have a set for sale with spacers - if anyone is interested PM me.

Those are great wheels - I think they are expensive and one of the strongest sets offered.

Wow, I thought just having Sport Technos on the build sheet was rare...your car was ordered with body color coded Sport Technos, now that's gotta be rare. Nice!

Most of the turbo S I've seen in the emirates have sport techno rims.
