Personally always thought that turbo wheel style was one of the worst they produced so would be the first I'd change anyway.

Always 2nd hand geniune wheels available, often with old winter tyres and very little use so should be good and round.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Wow those extra badges.
Are you sure the silver bits are additional and not original, I am sure I have seen that effect before,
Wheels look like turbos, although I thought they came in 19s, ours were, but probably available in 18s too.
Yeah, quite something aren’t they? Might have to have the tailgate one gone sooner rather than later - the wings look less obvious. Silver bits may be original but not my cuppa tea… despite what I’ve just bought, I’m looking for a very classy looking car. The midnight blue is - i feel - the right place to start but definitely got some work to do!
Interesting on the wheels, I thought the same having only really seen them in 19” on some S models.
Wheels will be replicas, not much value in them. Always 2nd hand geniune wheels available, often with old winter tyres and very little use so should be good and round.

Thanks, good to know! What’s this based on, the fact that they’re 18s? Would be great if you had any idea on value of them.
Simply the fact they're not genuine (so probably heavier). If they are Porsche they will have a Porsche part number on the back of a spoke.
Personally always thought that turbo wheel style was one of the worst they produced so would be the first I'd change anyway.
I was trying to find a screenshot of the options brochure, but i cant find it right now, that style of wheel was only offered in 19” search ebay or D911 for turbo “style” wheels and you will find yours.
I waited for around 6 months for a set of genuine wheels that i wanted to turn up on ebay for mine, yours will certainly be useable, no need to swap them out straight away.
I still have my turbo 2 replicas and i swap them on to my boxster for when i dont use it over the winter, i was thinking of selling them but i think they’re only good for scrap value.
