The new turbo wheels (ala the '04 GT2/3 style) are the exact width and offset as the traditional Porsche 5-spoker -- 8"et50 front and 11"et45 rear. You can fit GT2-sized wheels on the Turbo and then they would be: 8.5"et40 and 12"et45.

I like them also......



Jack if you're going to post pictures at least be kind enough to show us your interior too ok? I wanted to see what was going in there. Now that the exterior is mostly done, I figured I' bling up the interior a little. I have some CF pieces here and there but.... I've always liked that wheel of yours too.

Ah that's much better Jack Seriously that's pretty close to how I want my interior to be! I'm not a fan of two tone etc.. and just wanted to keep it mostly black but with CF bits here and there. Also that wheel is the bomb. Gotta get me one!

Wish I'd know they were available when I ordered mine. IMHO they provide a unique but classy look.

Hey Mansour, are you back yet? Actually I got my tt coupe over a month ago, but I have been so busy that I haven't had time to post pics. I am planning on washing it and posting pics when I can. I know a lot of people seem to dislike the GT3 wheels, but on my aerokitted Polar Silver coupe, I think they look good, and I would order the car the same way if I could do it over again (by the way, does anyone know whether they are heavier than the standard Turbo wheels?). When will you be back? I want to check out the Newbury Street Armani Cafe scene (I've heard that you are the Mayor of this section of Boston).

LOL jim...Mayor is an understatement
Hopefully soon...making good progress on that front
Now if I could only find a connection in one of the big investment banks or management consulting firms so I can get a job in Boston or NYC and avoid moving to TX (hint hint....anyone can help?? I have a decent resume, MIT undergrad and all...)
EAST COAST RULES!

They don't call me the Imelda Marcos of wheels for nothing -- I've obviously got a wheel fettish!
