Porsche Turbo Wheels

I have the opportunity to buy 4 new wheels, porsche turbo type, 17" with 215 - 45 tires on it - for a very reasonable price. The hole pattern is the original porsche pattern and adapters are included to match my TT.

Is it advisable to mount them on my TT or are there any disadvantages that I am not aware of?

Thanks anyway?

Nothing wrong with Porsche turbo (Fuchs) wheels. The only thing to be a potential concern...

as I see it is the adapter hubs. Sometimes they can be up to an inch thick or more and then you cant get the tire/wheel combo under the fenders.

I think if the price is right and a "test-fit" is done (if it works on the front it will work on the rear, but NOT the other way around). Then go for it.

Your speedo will be a little off due to smaller diameter, but not significant and tires can be replaced down the road.

If you like em and the price is right and the fronts fit, go for it!
