Turbo twist wheels on an 86???

I have been thinking of buying a set of Turbo twist wheels for my 1986 Coupe, then I change my mind. What do you guys think? Does anyone have any pics of a Carrera with these wheels?
Thanks,

Blizzard, just one thing.
I saw a Carrera parked outside Vertex yesterday with turbo twists and they were cutting up both his front and rear tires!.
He looked like he had standard ride height, don't know if he had spacers, but would imagine not.
The cars in the pics appear both turbo body and so would have no problems.
So you may want to double check clearances before you take the plunge!.
Hope this helps

The arctic silver Cabriolet is a genuine Turbo Look. The white car is a Turbo that I found on the swedish Porsche Club homepage. However you can get 17 inch Twist wheels with offsets to match old 3.2s. 7.5x17 front and 9x17 rear should fit without problems.
