New wheels look great. I had the lobsters as my OEM wheels as well and couldn't wait to swap them out.

The car looks good either way to me - I like those lobster fork wheels.

Car looks good. Question....I really like the new OEM turbo wheels, what would I have to do to put those on my 05 911 S?? I currently have the stock lobster wheels.

Just picked up the car this past weekend so am very green to mods.

Thanks,

If anyone else has a set of these wheels (either with or without rubber), please PM or e-mail me. I think they look great!

The car looks great but I'm in the minority as a lobster lover as well. But I accept that they are a bit unconventional looking.
I wouldn't bother to swap them unless I went to 18's. Someday perhaps.

So what's a set of the Carrera S II wheels worth with 235/305 P-Zero sneakers? About 1000 miles.

Thanks,
If you mean the current multi-spoke 5 spoke Turbo wheels (and not the 2010 Turbo wheels that look like the P40s), yes they'll fit exactly like these wheels fit my car. The rears are 19x11 and have an ET51 offset (same as mine). They'll come right to the edge of your fenders... but won't rub. I haven't had any issues.

If you buy Turbo wheels with tires, they'll have 305s on the rears which would be too wide (and would stick outside of the fenders on your [and my] car)... you'll need 295 rubber on the rears for it to look right.

19s (19x11)

While we're on the topic, does anyone know the recommended torque for the lug nuts? I purchased a new set of wheels (which should arrive next week) and I'll be looking to change them up pretty much right away...

Thanks in advance,

Brian
