Got a free set of OEM 17" turbo twist wheels from a friend. Does anyone know if these fit the 996tt? Maybe a good wheel for track days?

AIRjordan23 is infamous around these parts

i dont think it would look good at all. might be good if you want to put some snow tires if anything (easier to find snow tires in 17" size).

regarding clearance i dont think there should be a problem.

I odnt think they will clear the calipers. if they are from boxter then they will not for sure. If u get them to work let us know cause that would be a great rear rim to put on for the drag strip.
