Wheels: What's the diff: Twist vs Turbo vs Technology........

What the difference, and how can one tell the difference among all the 'twist' type factory wheels Porsche has out? Dating back to 993 and early Boxsters, there seems to be quite a few different models that look somewhat similar. In particular, what's the difference between the TWIST vs Turbo Twist vs Technology? Are wheels interchangable among 911 Carrera 3.2, 993, Boxster, and 996?

Thanks
MIK

Terminology gets a little confusing on that site; basically the "turbo twist" refers to any of the 17 or 18" wheels porsche made in that style, "technology" apparently refers to the hollow-spoke 18" version that came/comes on 993 or 996 turbo. These are lighter and more valuable, (but nowhere near as valuable as W.E. thinks they are), all of these wheels are cast, not forged. Try checking w/ Porsche salvage yards and classifieds around the web. Good luck.
