Your mate's are nice, but they need to be repainted for the anoraks... They didn't come in charcoal. And FWIW I love those Sport Technos - they were an option for the C4S, but alas mine didn't have them. Joz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me how I recall that figure...đ Bonus is that they are extremely easy to clean...! Fishcop, TwoHeadsTas, Joz and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of Sport Techno's on  my turbo.   If contemplating for a turbo,  I would DYOR as some consider my car to be non roadworthy (the techno's are accompanied with factory spacers). On a C4S, I understood direct bolton with no spacers.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1q2w3e4r Posted 24July, 2021 Report Share Posted 24July, 2021 Try some of the Porsche Club websites, you may come across some.  Pretty thin on the ground though I expect now days, you may get someone who's got a set stashed as a second / third set for track work sitting in a garage somewhere not being used. Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naldz88 Posted 24July, 2021 Report Share Posted 24July, 2021 XRC - Turbo techno wheels option on C4S $5290 My car however has the twists on it atm! Wonder if I can see if PCP can sus out the previous owner and see if they are still tucked away in a garage đ€  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the offsets the same as the twists or perhaps sit little wider? Why would the car be considered non roadworthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1q2w3e4r Posted 2August, 2021 Report Share Posted 2August, 2021 He's stating it because they use spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
