turbo twists were a factory option at one point, that may be the reason. although, there must be different styles of turbo twists. I was looking at my car sitting next to my dad's turbo and his wheels are still different than mine. Same year, mine are authentic turbo rims as they have a 996 part number on the back, but a slightly different pattern. His look more aggressive than mine.

i didn't meen 'turbo twists' per se, i meant TURBO, as in from a 996 turbo. the 8.5" front and 11" rears with these offsets are directly from the turbo.

they fit under the fender

18 x 10.5 275/35 ZR18
they seem to fit just fine, no rubbing

I had to put on 7MM spacers to clear the springs.
