They do, I wanted a set for Boxster & ended up travelling 275 miles each way to get a set! The Turbo twists that I had is the one no one wants!

Yes it is, struggled to find any for sensible money, or that didn't look like they'd hit every kerb in the UK :mrgreen:

thanks Mr S2Driver, I did see those but I think the rears on that set are 8.5J

All of the singles I've seen on ebay are either 7J or 8.5J as well.

I'm now thinking the 8J version of this wheel doesn't exist - has anyone got any?

Just so that I know.

Thanks.
