996 Turbo (and Turbo S) come with Turbo II wheels as standard.
These are hollow spoke, giving a 3 Kg weight saving over conventional designs.
8Jx18 wheels front with 225/40 ZR18 tyres
11Jx18 wheels rear with 295/30 ZR18 tyres
Edit:
Front offset is 50 mm
Rear is 45mm, or 63 mm with a 17mm spacer ring only.
Since the track is the same whichever is used (to within 2mm), then I am not sure what this means. I guess there are two wheels, one with a bigger offset that requires the spacer to maintain body work clearance. Why they need two I don't know?
/Edit
The C2/C4 had the option of Turbo Look II wheels which were 8Jx18 front and 10Jx18 rear.
Note that they used the word "look", and I don't know if these are hollow spoke.
Also, the C4S comes with 8Jx18 front and 11Jx18 rear Turbo Look II wheels.
The rears are the same width as the turbo wheels, but I am am not sure if these are hollow spoke.
The ones on the TT have metal valve stems, the ones on the C4S have rubber stems.
According to Maurice, on the 993 TT the real hollow ones have metal valve stems.
There are also the Sport Techno wheels, and I think the rears come in 10 and 11 inch widths. Whether they are hollow or not I don't know. I have never read anything that says they are hollow. I thought they were more for style than anything else.

This wheel thing never goes away does it? So to further the conundrum would Part Nos 993.362.134.05 with ET50 and 225/40 18s and 933.362.140.01 with ET65 and 265/40/18s fit our Blue and would we need spacers and are they hollow spoke? If these are not likely to be suitable is there a (genuine) 18" hollow spoke option which would fit preferably without spacers.
.. and Maurice - if you have two sets would you sell one!?[
