Exlondoner,

Thanks for the response. Sorry to the rest for my spelling errors, I sent the post via Blackberry and the auto word finish has some issues.

Just curious what don't you like about the 997 turbo wheels?

There's someone selling knock off Turbo rims on Ebay.
I'd bet they are for the older cars too... Not sure though.

It's not entirely the width of the wheel that you need to take into consideration - it's the offset. For reference sake if the rear wheel your going for is an 11" try and stay within the range of 63 - 68 - there is np fitting an 11" in the back.

PM me if you have any questions.

I have seen the knock-offs on ebay and although they look great I am always a little weary of knock-offs. Does anybody have any experience with these? I was interested in the 997 turbo wheels because I had an opportunity to pick up a pair of take- offs for a very reasonable price. I know some don't agree but I like the look of these wheels and like the fact that they are OEM. I am also considering a set of Ssr GT3's. Not sure if I should wait and put my dollars towards PSS9's and do new shoes later. Function before flash.
