Can anyone tell me which wheels I have here. Ive been told turbo 2 wheels but they don't look like any I've seen.
They're diamond cut and in perfect condition. Im looking to get them black powder coated and lacquered but.. if they're a rareish wheel I might look to get some crab claw 19s instead.
Its a 3.4S, 23k miles from New and virtually unused for the last 10 years (1200miles).

19" 911 Turbo wheel according to my 987 Cayman brochure. Turbo II wheel is slightly different - only two spoke instead of three like yours.

Thanks for that.
As you say the turbo 2's (as I've seen) only have the two spokes.
Were these a cost option when new? Theres £9k of options when specced new but nothing ref the wheels..

Could be aftermarket if no original reference (but a shame on a well cherished example)

Definitely shown as a cost option in the brochure but no price given.

They look a very good copy. Hoping they're originals, although I haven't got to taking them off yet.
Decided to get them black gloss powder coated anyway.

Thanks for all the replies, appreciated..

Luckily originals!

Can anyone tell me if these turbo wheels were available in black as an option and if so we're the insides also gloss black /matt black or possibly grey?
