Those are speedline 3pc. wheels. Since you're looking for turbo twists, will you be interest with RUF style wheels? We have some coming, you can email me at info@rotteccarbon.com for details!

cohare, it is a WB... I did not realize that they made more than one type of turbo twist wheel (for NB and WB) I figured since they are they are turbo wheels, and al turbos are WB, they would fit..

so, just to confirm, the wheels that you have would not fit on a WB car?

The would "fit" but the rear offset would look ridiculous with out spacers. They also made 993 (looks like mine) and 996TT wheels.

ok, would it be possible for you to tell me the exact size, including offset of the wheels you have, and also if they are solid or hollow?

They are 18's I believe 18x8 in the front 18x10 rear, solids. off sets are 50 in front and 65 in rear. Again, I am not positive but, I can check when I get home.

sounds good, please confirm the offset and let me know, as I believe 65 on the rear is a WB wheel.

They may not be speedlines, do they say "speedline for Porsche"on them? There are a couple of other companies that make rims that look like that.

If you want some WB twist, I have a set of polished ones sitting in my basement with ok S03's on them.

JAA,

The 50F/65R are a narrow body offset. The lower the ET number on a similar sized wheel, the more the wheel with stick out....

Stealth 993, do you have any pics of your wheels?

I believe these are speedline wheels, i know the centercap says speedline on it somewhere.. however, I will post pictures of the backside of the rim as soon as I get a chance..

If they are indeed speedlines, would you be interested in a trade? porsche.j@gmail.com

HELL YEA we can trade! Get the part #'s that is the only way you will know 100% what wheel you are getting & that it fits. You can put NB wheels on a WB with spacers, but you CAN'T put WB wheels on a NB, it will hit the fender. Even with the spacer they can sometimes not look right.

My wheels are 100% perfect, I just went with wider wheels, & was saving these as they are on the sticker. These are POLISHED, not chrome, Porsche has never done a chrome wheel.

I can get better pics if you need them.
