Finaly got them painted black and the spacers I ordered came in. So of course I had to put them on tonight and go for a quick ride.

They look cool as hell. I need to switch the front to 1 inch spacers though. The 1.5 is making it touch just a slight bit over bumps.

I'll get the fenders reshaped and pushed out a bit them go for the 1.5 inch.

Pics man!

turbo 18'' twists? or 17in twists?

I think a super glossy black is really nice for those rims.

Yeah I suck

um 17s. I used a flat paint but it came out a little shiny. I'm gonna wait a few days for the paint to settle then use a heavy compound to make em look a bit flatter.


It said 17x7.5 up front but I suspect it may be 17x7 rear is 17x9 and looks bitching from the rear.

How much for the old wheels?

Posted by: turboman808 Jul 12 2006, 04:56 PM

Be surprised how many people have asked me that.

Unless they offer a butt load I'm holding onto them. They work really well in the rain and they sure are pretty wheels.

I forgot my camera but seeing the new wheels in the light the car looks mean as hell.

I know it ain't for the cheap insurance.

Posted by: Dr. Roger Jul 12 2006, 10:42 PM

subtle, yet agressive.

knarly though soft.

"going to get groceries" meets "I'm going to smoke that 911"

two thumbs up. =-)

TurboMan was born when I was a Sophmore in High School. Maybe it is the insurance..... =-O LOL

nice! put some regular headlights in

Posted by: Leo Imperial Jul 12 2006, 11:12 PM

Look pretty kick ass. I fits the car. Black wheels rock!!!

Posted by: turboman808 Jul 13 2006, 12:44 PM

OK so I think I need to wet sand these to get some runs and wrinkles out. I thought rubbing compound and a mothers powerball would do it.


So I think I need some direction here and possibly a list of what products to get and how to use

Posted by: i love porsche Jul 13 2006, 12:51 PM

the look great, but theyre not actually 996 turbo wheels
this is a turbo wheel


and this is the wheel you have on your car, its an early 996 C2/Boxster wheel...




...so what did you do with those purdy Fuchs????

Posted by: Dr. Roger Jul 17 2006, 06:06 PM

i would ask McMark as he is an experienced painter and a nice guy who's willing to help others. =-)


Dem turbo rims are the shit
