Ok i nrrd some help from you guys i really want to upgrade my stock spiderweb wheels, but i cant find any other wheels that will work, i called the porsche dealer and they told me that nothing besides the stock wheel should be used, they said any other wheel will get out of balence fast and cup the tires, because the offsets wont be exactly the same as stock. This doesnt make much sence to me?? So i guess my question is WHAT wheels will fit?? i wanted to get the17 twin turbo wheels, but they claimed they wont fit, but this doesnt make sense because i have seem them on 944s and arnt they the same a the 9242 with the 5 bolt, also my brother has them on his 928, but i am not sure it the 928 is the same? so has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone elso know what wheels will fit, i looked in the tech section but those are all old styles??

The 16" Phone Dials from my 1988 951 fit perfectly. Handles nice, feels okay to me.

The technicians mostly look to be about 16 years old and think a 993 is an old car!
