These wheels came on a Turbo S I bought back in summer of 2007. The car had 10k miles and so did the wheels. I changed wheels quickly on the car and the wheels retired in my storage until I decided to mount up some new rubber on them and take them to a weekend DE Last Nov 2011 and had a little spin and hit a blunt curb with the front driver side wheel and tire. The wheel broke at the outer rim(might be able to be fixed but certainly I would not do any aggressive driving on it after repair).
I searched around to find a replacement used wheel and to my shock, was quoted some $1,200 from Wheel Enhancement and saw others on ebay listed for anywhere from $750 to $950 for one used front wheel for the turbo same as the damaged one.
I decided that I could buy a used set of Hollow twists in the $750-$950 range for 4 wheels and did that instead. Now I am selling my TT so the wheels have to go. I will post good photos of each wheel tomorrow but for now you get the idea of what they look like on the red Turbo S.
Front 18x8 ET 50
Rear 18x11 ET 45
No tires, just wheels.
Will pack and box at my expense and ship to CON US at buyer expense. I figure $250 will ship all 4.

A reputable wheel repair shop told me the damaged wheel can be repaired for $150 so it is looking like I will have that done and post photos of the wheel when repaired. I will still honor my asking price from above when the wheel is repaired for the entire set of 4 wheels.

WHEEL REPAIRED
I pick wheel up tomorrow, and was told it was completely repairable and that they just cut off that same damaged area from a wheel they had and fused or welded it to the damaged wheel after cutting off the damaged area and rebuilt the wheel.
They said drive it like you stole it. Will post pics over the weekend. Damage has been disclosed in the photos above.
