Default Which 5-lug wheels looks most like Turbo S CL wheels?

Hi everyone,

I love the look of the Turbo S CL wheels, but my 991.1 CS is using 5 lug, so I'm currently looking for alternatives in 5-lug. Any recommendations?

My search has given me these candidates:

Porsche Turbo S CL




Victor Innsbruck Wheels



HRE FF01 FlowForm

I had victor equipment wheels about 13 years ago. To be frank I think they were pretty crappy. I ended up putting factory wheels back on.

I had a set of Innsbrucks on a 986 Boxster S back in the day. They were literally $1500 delivered for 4! Big mistake. The offsets, the over-shininess, both made them look like wrong-sized cheap aftermarket wheels. Looked great in the ads, not so much on the car.

I also bought a Turbo in the mid-2000s from a guy who had switched to another version of Victors, a 5-spoke in 19". Ugly and crappy. I still have them in a spare garage, even though I sold the car long ago. They are shod with a set of now rock-hard Pilot Sport 2s. I'll make you a hell of a deal. They don't just LOOK like Turbo wheels -- they actually CAME OFF OF a Turbo, giving them an air of authenticity your HREs could never achieve.

You could always do a center lock conversion and buy OE turbo wheels. It's not the cheapest option, but it would suit your needs.

BBS CH-R are similar in sentiment and come in Porsche fitments for 991.

Try the HRE FF04. I think it's a beautiful wheel. Nice finishes available and won't break the bank.

This. I've been shopping wheels myself and have narrowed it down to this and a couple of fully forged options at 2+ times the cost. I even photoshopped the color scheme to emulate a Fuchs look. Note you'd have to have it painted on your own to get the look.

I think for the price it is one of the nicest new wheels.

Would I? I've considered the option, but I don't know if CL would fit a narrow body car due to the offset differences?
