Post YOUR COMMENT IS NEEDED (REPLICAS 18 INCH WHEELS)

Hello guys,

I am wonder if any of you have use replicas of the 993 TT "Turbo Technology wheels" as they have a bad reputation that they bent for nothing!
I plan to buy some Miglemillia 18" but, is it worth the effort or they are too "fragile" to survive ?

Thanks guys,
Jim

I suspect that you want to upgrade from your 17"s... With the roads the way they are over in Athens, I would not recommend it!
Just think of your ride alone...

Hunter,
The wheels Millemiglia has been builded under license of Porsche. So Millemiglia have to follow an acurate list of charges, this mean that the quality between the P-factory wheels and the Millemigia are the same.
Go for it!

I have a virtually brand new set of Factory Porcshe 993TT 1997 hollowspokes for sale for $1600. Why bother buying reproductions when you can buy the super strong factory wheels. Its a steal.

FYI Porsche only licensed Mille Miglia to use the likeness of their wheels.....Porsche doesnt care whatsoever about the manufacturing/engineering strenght and durability of "licensed knock-offs" of their factory wheels.

Let me know if you wnat the wheels

The wheels from a 993 Turbo are 8" and 10" in size. Also, the rears will only fit a widebody 993. Hopefully, that's what you have.

Yes, these are from a 996. If they are hollow spoke Turbo wheels, they were from a '98 or a '99. After 7/99, Porsche switched to solid spoke Turbo Look wheels.
