996 turbo rims

Is the 996 turbo rims an over kill for the bug? As in size and offset.

i love the look of the hollow spoke 18's. if i had the cash, i would have gone that way. they get wide though. i think they are 8.5" and 10" f/r.

Turbo Wheels

I have tried on a set of Turbo rims and they looked great. They were 17x7.5 fronts and 18x8.5 rears. Trouble is I had to give them back to the guy who lent them to me! But when I have the money! Any way they were 51mm et on both front and rears . I had to use spacers.
Cheers David

2002 turbo rims

I am putting a set of 2002 turbo rims on a Meyers Manx. With any luck I will have a rolling chassis in a couple of weeks and will try to post some photos.
The rears are 11's with 295's.

Thanks,
Randy

I'm going to be running 8.5's up front and 10's in the rear. I plan on running my car on the racetrack quite a bit. These sizes may be overkill but time will tell.

I beleive the early 930's ran 205/55/16 on the front and 225/50/16 on the rear and they seemed fine on the track.
