Turbo Twists or like on a 997?

Has anyone gone this path, maybe a bit going backwards but just thought with the headlight design bringing the 997 back a bit to look more like a 993 if anyone has added a nice set of older style porsche rims on a 997 like a set up Turbo Twist or other? My favorite porsche is the 993 Turbo with the tail and cool looking front bumper that flips up on the sides (some may hate it, just my opinion) and thinking of turning my 997 (purchasing later today it seems) into a bit of a throw back era looking 997.... anyone have any pics of twists on 997, do they make 19's or only 18 twist style wheels? Thanks.....

raffi is infamous around these parts
go with the 996 turbo wheels, great offsets.
i saw one at platinum a while back and they looked pretty cool with the lowered suspension.

thanks....

No spacers needed with this set up? They only made these in 18's correct, and the hollow spoke? Really want them to sit flush with the flare and you mentioned great offset match to a 997..... Thanks again

you can double check with platinum, since they may have made some changes to the supension to accomodate for these wheels.
i know for a fact that porsche made these wheels in narrow offsets, but if the turbo offsets fit, then go for those... you cant use spacers, spacers are only needed when you want to make the offset more aggressive, the widebody always has more aggressive offsets
