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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All the 02's I see come either with the Carrera 5-spokes, or some rim other than Twists. Were the Twists only on the earlier cars?

POST 3Original post

Andy - I have them on my '04 C2. 8" with 50mm offset on the front and 10" with 65mm offset on the rear.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Tim - Those are awseome ACTUAL Turbo rims, right? I was talking about the Turbo Look II twist rims.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup--best rims ever! Especially nice in chrome when on darker colored cars!

POST 7Original post

Only problem is the chrome can peel. I'll be needing to take my wheels to Wheel Enhancement before long for some work.

POST 8Original post

anyone lookin to get rid of their turbos wanna trade?

POST 9Original post

Just to clarify, my wheels are NOT hollow, they are the solid (heavier) version. Sorry, I didn't mean to mislead you!

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I thought the shape was the difference between the Turbo Look rims, and the Turbo rims? Your rims are more flat than the Turbo Look rims, right?

POST 11Original post

Yeah, I noticed the same thing. I have the factory option turbo look wheels on my '00, and they don't have the flat surfaces and hard edges of that wheel. I really liked them at first, but find myself thinking about swapping them out sometimes, now. Maybe hanging out on this board too much...

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

According to Wheel Enhancement, Tim's rims are the "Turbo" rims, and are different (more flat) than the "Turbo Look" rims.

POST 13Original post

Too clear up the various twist styles... Turbo Look/Technology (Technology was original hollow spoke wheel) Debuted on the 993 Turbo, was popular option on 996s and Boxsters. Turbo II Debuted on 996 Turbo (hollow spoke) and later as standard on C4S. A version to fit narrow 996s and Boxsters was also later available. Carrera Debuted on 996 Carrera, but was probably best know as a popular option for early Boxsters. Boxster S Debuted on 2000 Boxster S and is only occassionally seen elsewhere. SportTechno I believe this was always only an optional wheel for the 996. There is also a 20" version for the Cayenne. HTH

POST 15Original post

I traded up from 17'' Carrera wheels to 18'' Turbo Look/Technology wheels last year but would offer them for a trade to get lighter wheels. They look good but they are also heavy. As I go more and more on the track with my car, I'm interested in reducing weight. So DeAd-EyE: What are you offering?
