General
Identifying 18-inch Turbo wheels (Technologie wheels / hollow spoke wheels) with the dimensions 9J x 18 RO 52 and 10J x 18 RO 65 (RO = Rim Offset) is only possible when the wheels are disassembled.

These wheels can also be fitted on the 911 Carrera (993) and the Boxster.

The basic difference between Turbo wheels (Technologie wheels / hollow spoke wheels) and Turbo Look wheels (Turbolook Design wheels) is their valves:

Turbo wheel: screwed-in steel valve





Turbo Look wheel: rubber valve
1 screwed-in steel valve
2 rubber valve

Markings on the inner side of the wheels identify 18-inch Turbo wheels with the sizes 9J x 18 RO 52 and 10J x 18 RO 65.

The sizes together with the rim offset (RO) and spare part number are marked with A or B.
