Original Fit Wheels on my 996

[David Ramsbotham]

The option code for the original wheels on my car is 413, description is 18” 993 Turbo look, not hollow spoke. Can someone tell me with certainty what pattern this refers to?
Although my car presently has split rim wheels, was mulling over whether it might be possible to find a set of originals to refurbish.

Thanks, are they referred to as Turbo Twists? Do you know what widths they came in?

 

[gizlaroc]

Yeah Turbo Twists.

For the narrow body 996 they are 10" rear with a 65 offset and 8" front with a 50mm offset.

I must say, I do like your wheels. I keep looking out for a set.

Thanks again, I think I’ll be on the look out for a set to refurbish in the future.

My wheels were on the car when I got it, just fitted new Michelin PS5 tyres. They are 71/2 fronts and 10 rears.

I have a set of turbo twists in good condition.Will suit a narrow bodied 996. No damage and could be put straight on the car. I used them with winter tyres on my C4S but no longer have the car.Let me know if interested and i'll email some photos.I reckon £500 is a keen price.

Can you tell me dimensions - diameter, width and ETs please? Thanks for the response.

Hi David, They are oe wheels,rears 10J x18 H2 ET47, fronts 8J x 18 H2 ET50.They are without tyres, I have a set of winter tyres with very little use if any use to you.My plan was to sell the tyres separately.I have photos of the wheels if you want to see images.
Cheers, Marcus

Thanks Marcus, in a dilemma at the moment as to whether to keep my split rims and refurbish or go for twists - seem to have my hand in my pocket all the time at the moment! Would like to see your wheels though if not too much problem, perhaps you could pm them to me? Not sure if rears will need spacers as present ET is 65 although they give lots of clearance on calipers.

What model is your car? Rear tyre size is 265 so ok for a narrow bodied 996, I fitted them on a C4S and used spacers as they looked a bit skinny inside the wider arches.

My car is a C2 gen1 cab. Rear tyre size is indeed 265. I was mistakenly concerned about the 18mm difference in ET.
Great looking wheels and so tempting!
