Hey all, my turbo twists have seen better days, they're scratched and scuffed and I suspect are not quite as round as they used to be too.

Interesting, I just ordered OZ Allegeritas in 18 to replace the 19s that came on my car.

Wont change the look but will definitely help with unsprung weight

I have a set sitting in storage (NFS), but I would highly recommend.
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.

Hey all, my turbo twists have seen better days, they're scratched and scuffed and I suspect are not quite as round as they used to be too. I'm thinking of replacing them for either a set of GT3s or OZ Allegerita's. Driving is mainly fast road with the odd track day. If I can drop some unsprung weight that would be great. UK roads are pretty poor so something that's not going to fail at the first pot hole is important!
Any experience or suggestions between these two?
If u had to choose from only those 2 the gt3 wheel is the winner. The oz wheel is much lighter and a nice wheel but its really meant for the track. I have 1 or 2 out of round from just the track curbing. No way they would last on bad roads.
The gt3 wheels look great and hold up for every day use. Some other wheels u might be able ro get over the pond that may be a better lighter choice r Apex, Tec or BBS 2 piece. Cost will vary but they will all be lighter then the gt3 and hold up
OP - De Jeeper is spot on. If you drive hard and hit a pot hole or two, B roads in UK would likely beat up an OZ in a season. I believe many of the folks on 911uk can also give you some advice. Apex are a fine choice for not as much gold as the GT3 wheels, if the import tax isn�t too exorbitant.
Thanks for the replies so far. It looks.like I can take the Allegeritas off the list. I can source 2nd hand GT3 wheels for around 2-2.5k. Apex are around 8-900 per wheel from a quick search 😬
Thats about double the price for us depending on your wheel choice. I run the sm10 wheel and its about $425 retail. They do offer specials occasionally like free shipping or buy 3 get 1 free.
Interesting, I just ordered OZ Allegeritas in 18 to replace the 19s that came on my car.
De Jeeper I believe your experience but these wheels are so cheap and so light, the value proposition is too good to not try it out. The reviews I read across a number of forums suggested good durability. Looks like they have made them for a long time so there should be availability if I need to replace one or more.
Apex are great but rears only come in 18x11, I wanted 10s.
The 19s I have are total pigs and way too much for my C2 cab. Weight savings for me is going to be 11lbs per corner or 44lbs all in.
Get a set of 18" Carrera II, the wheel that was introduced/came standard on the 996 Mk2.
Very light and a lot cheaper than hollow spoke turbo twists or gt3 wheels.
What gt3 wheels would you be looking into? 2-piece Mk1 are heavy, mk2 aren't light either but offer +�" front and +1" rear width compared to all narrow body fitment wheel widths.
My OZ in GT3 sizing(18x11" & 18x8.5") are lighter than my Carrera IIs in standard Carrera sizing.(18x10" & 18x7.5")
I prefer the looks of my OZ over my Carrera IIs, but I've been tempted to repaint my OZ a different color.
Right now they are Gloss black.
The Carerra IIs are really good looking wheels too in my opinion.
There is also the Sport Tehno wheel. Its a factory option that comes in the gt3 size and weighs the same as the hollow spokes. I have a set of those too.
Mk2s, good size and offset plus keeps it in the Porsche family. They're going on a C4S so a wider fitment is good for me. Hollow spoke TTs are a good call but they're hard to find.
OEM GT3 wheels are going to be much more stout than the OZ wheels. Not familiar with the Carrera II wheels, but I would bet they will handle poor roads better than aftermarket wheels.
I would consider strength of wheels over weight in your shoes.
I have raced on OZ wheels for a number of years although they are cast wheels I checked them after each event and they have held up well. I like the Sport Design wheels for street use and occasional DE track use those BBS are strong but they do add weight.

Yep, if you want 8x18 and 10x18 wheels that are very light and strong, which are also true to the Porsche 996.2, consider the Carrera 2s. I have 2 sets of them. One set is mainly for the track and one set is for the street. After 22 years, I have never once had a strength or durability problem with either set. You can also add different size spacers to get the look you want based on what size tires you choose.
Yeah, and they are very easy to clean.
If you�re okay with wider fitment, my vote goes to Apex Wheels. Lightweight, strong, and relatively inexpensive. I really wanted a set for those reasons, but I don�t want wider wheels so I�m no longer considering them.
edit: They will occasionally have sales on their wheels, if you can be patient.
Somewhere on Rennlist is a 4 year old 996 wheel thread or two with hundreds of pictures and details. It may be worth finding it.
As always. It comes down to the purpose for the wheels and look you are trying to get, etc. There are alot if great options.
I believe you have a C4S, so keep in the back of your mind what the oem wheel sizes are as well as tire size requirements so the computer doesn't shut down your engine due to tire size differentials.
Once in awhile I just had to stop and take a picture of that car. Those were the good old days.
Beautiful car on a gray winter day.
They're stock size for narrow bodies . Probably not good for you though. Would take a pretty big spacer for your wide body c4s.
Very nice of you to say. 964 styling was initially rejected by some but really was quite elegant, similar to 996 sentiments.
As for your choices, unfortunately I don't think I've seen these wheels in wide body sizes. The turbo hollow spoke Wheels in the link from Simon would be a good option.
Thanks again for everyone's input. I'm now chasing down a set of hollow spoke turbo twists. I've made notes of the correct part numbers. Hopefully a weight saving of 2+kgs per corner will help.
And in a swift conclusion, a set of genuine hollow spokes have been snapped up on eBay for �1,400. Over �1k cheaper than refurbished GT3 wheels, lighter and in keeping with the 4S aesthetic.
