Hi there,

This will be my first post so please excuse any naivety.

I am picking up my first Porsche this weekend. A 94" 993 C2.

I have been looking for a set of 18" Turbo Twist wheels.

A couple of questions.

- Does anyone have the Hollow Spoke ones for sale? The only ones I have found the owner is looking for 3k fully re-furbed.

- If I was to go for the Solid Spoke will this be a major problem for the drive of the car due to weight? I can get a much better deal at 2k with a set of new tires.

Thank you
 
If I recall correctly, early cars like yours require modifications in order to run 18 inch wheels. Steering rack brace rings a bell...

What wheels have you got at the moment? The 17 inch Cup 2s are a great wheel - light, string and good looking.
 
Thank you guys.

The wheels I have are attached.

I can see why you would want to change them!

Speak to Chris at exel, he'll source you some.

The hollow spokes on sale on ebay at £4.5k are for a wide body.
 
Cup 2s might be a better option for you but as others have said speak to Chris at Exel, there's not much he doesn't know about wheels and tyres...
 
Let us know what you are getting at the end :thumb:

Either Cup 2 or Hollow Spoke, you will be better off.

2k for solidspokes? :eek:

They go for around 400 GBP (no tyres of course)
 
Chris has offered the Hollow Spokes, fully refurbished for £1400.

Does this sound about right to you guys?
 
yep. :thumbs:
 
Absolutely :thumb:

Lots of dodgy wheels about that have been cracked, bent etc. Only an expert can tell. Highly recommend Chris.
 
I'm looking for some 17's wheels to put my Winter tyres on.
Could offer £200 if you're interested.
