Narrow body: 8x18, 10x18

Also, would prefer hollow spoke (obviously a more rare style)

I believe the factory issued a technical service bulletin about fifteen years ago stating that 18” wheels were not approved on the 944.

A google may provide the details.

Nonetheless here you go:

Here are the details from the service bulletin:

18-INCH WHEEL INSTALLATION NOT APPROVED
Article Text
1987 Porsche 944
Tuesday, August28, 2001 11:31AM

ARTICLE BEGINNING

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

INSTALLATION OF 18" WHEELS NOT APPROVED

Model All Porsche Models
Group 4
Bulletin No. 9305
Date April 15, 1993

Concern:

Retrofitting 18" wheels on Porsche vehicles which do not have 18" wheels as original equipment is NOT ALLOWED.

General Information:

Endurance tests have shown that equipping certain Porsche vehicles with 18" wheels in an application not already approved by Porsche Cars, N.A. may result in loosened bolts and /or threaded connections on the front wheel carriers. This, in turn, may cause fractures in these components. Fractures may also occur in the front strut mounts and in the body in the area of the rear suspension as a result of the installation of 18" wheels not already approved for installation for this specific application.
Such damage can occur without warning and the vehicle may become very hard to control/steer as a result of the improper installation.
Porsche dealer personnel coming in contact with a vehicle that has been retrofitted with 18" wheels in an application not approved by Porsche, should inform the owner of the potential for damage to their vehicle and loss of steering control. Porsche Cars, N.A. should also be notified of any vehicles retrofitted with 18" wheels.
