yeah - pretty sure the turbo came with the speedlines or something like that - they are fairly light, but i think they used the M030 spindles too

they were 18x10 rear with a 265/35 dunlop sp sport 8000, and 18x8 front with a 235/40 (same model tire)

I seem to recall reading someplace that there was a version of the 968 that came with 18" wheels. Anybody know?

I think it was the Turbo-RS version...8.5" X 18" and 10.0" X 18" rims

We see it, Flash - just give us slower guys a chance.

Thanks for the info. Are the spindles that much stronger than stock? Is that the possible reason for the caution re 18" wheels on those cars for which they were not stock?

Well, I called them today and was told that they do not carry these in stock for a looksy. They order them in from a warehouse.

don't know if they are stronger or not, but it seems logical

Thanks Lee. Now we just need to figure out who the supplier is and maybe we can pick up a set for $800 ;)
