Here's the description: Two 17�x7� Turbo Twists wheels from a 2001 996 with 22k miles on them. Great condition with some minor scratches. Straight and true with no curb rash. No center caps. They are not hollow spokes. They are ET-55. The price is right, I just need to confirm that they will fit. larry

For the front wheels they will fit. That is the same width and offset as the stock 17" (PN996 362 124 00) For my winters, I am running F 7" x 17" et 55 R 8.5" x 17" et 50 They are the same wheels you are showing.

Those are not True Turbo Twist wheels tt are in 18'' only.

I got a PM from someone with 4 - 17" wheels to sell. He says I really don't need or want the tires. He wants $600 for the 4 wheels, which is about what I'd spend on some aftermarket wheels. These look good in the pix, and come with color or black center caps. Now, they're a half inch wider than yours, and they are both ET55 as opposed to your saying ET50's in the rear. I really don't know what the ET number means, and whether 55 opposed to 50 makes a difference on my car. Is this still OK, and am I all right with them for my 2004 996? larry

That's incorrect. OEM are available in 17" as well.

Yes maybe so but I don't consider those types of wheels true turbo twists...more like just twists lol The wheel I am referring to is optional on the NA 996 and is an 18'' turbo rim from the 996 Turbo.

Sure, I hear what your saying regarding your opinion about the name of the wheel but I could see the OP getting confused by your answer hence I made the clarification. The wheel your referring to is the Turbo II (as per attached pic) rather than the turbo twist.
POST 11Original post
BTW, I really like the Turbo II wheels, but every time I see those wheels they have the turbo offset, something like 45 and 55 I think... Did they make a special version for the narrow body with 63 offset ? I have been looking for a while for those wheels as they are the one my car my originally delivered with but no luck so far

Yes they can be bought (replicas) Porsche shop in the UK has them http://www.porscheshop.co.uk/acatalo...id_wheels.html
POST 13Original post
17" twist rims were standard on the 99-01 MY narrow body cars. I use that size for my winter wheels. I believe by '04, 18" rims were standard.
POST 14Original post
the Wheel Pictured Above IS NOT TURBO TWIST WHEEL... This is what Turbo Twist I looks like http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...elDetail&id=39 Wheels pictured above is this http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...elDetail&id=35 AKA 17" Carrera Wheel But yes they will fit your 04 Targa 55ET front and 50ET Rear but $600 WITHOUT tires is way to much, they sell for $200-$400, If they were Actual Turbo Twist then $500 would be a good Deal
POST 15Original post
All this talk is premature. All fitment questions have to go through Ed.
POST 16Original post
on narrow body car with: stock offset: 50 in the front 65 in the rear but it seems you can push it up to ( TO BE VERIFIED by Ed 48 in the front 52 in the rear Again, the smaller the number, the more the wheels will stick out of the fender.

So, along comes someone else with 4 mounted snow tires on aftermarket wheels that I saw on Tire Rack. I don't know if these are the same or just similar wheels to the ones that they spec'ed for my 996. These wheels are off of a Boxster. Can you confirm or deny whether these will fit my 996? Front 17" (17x7.5) Offset: 52mm Backspacing: 6.29" Bolt Pattern: 5-130 Tire Size: 205/50-R17 Rim Brand: Sport Edition Cup 4 (you can find these on Tirerack.com) Tire Brand: Pirelli 240 Snowsport Rear 17" (17x9) Offset: 47mm Backspacing:6.85" Bolt Pattern:5-130 Size: 255/40-R17 Rim Brand: Sport Edition Cup 4 Tire Brand: Pirelli 240 Snowsport What do you think? It will be a good deal if it works. I am concerned about the Offset, and I don't have any clue of what the "backspacing" means. These will be shipped to me from CT. larry
