Default What do a 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo rims look like?

I have an issue. lol I just bought my husband a Porsche Design key ring but I think I goofed up and got the wrong one. We have a 2001 911 Turbo. It's in the garage though and I can't go peek at it right now, since hubby is in there and this is a surprise gift. So, tell me did I get the wrong one? Do our wheels not look like this? I kinda need to know asap, so I can cancel my order if I need to and get the right one.

Here's the one I got:

Should I have gotten this one?

The second one just looks so boring. lol Thanks for your help!

You got the right one. Actually, the one you got is the brake disk/Caliper key ring in red (like your husband's TT). The second one is keychain of the wheel of a 997 Turbo (newer generation than yours).
You did good.

Nope. Click on my signature for pics of my C4S. It has the exact same wheels as a stock 2001 Turbo.

That's the OEM brake caliper and rotor.

That's a wheel.

No.


What he said.^. The yellow car looks modified, that's not the OEM 2001 turbo wheel.

Cool

Your first photos are of the generic Porsche Red Brake calipers and rotor. These are standard on the 2001 unless it was ordered with yellow calipers or modified since it was new.

The second photos are for the 997 (2007 and newer) Turbo wheels.

The last set of photos are NOT the stock 2001 Turbo wheels. They are either Porsche / Speedline wheels using a Turbo labeled center disc or an aftermarket copy of that wheel.

You have purchased a key ring with the correct brake for the 2001. The other two choices are not 2001 Turbo items.

Cheers,
