Am in the process of getting rid of the hideous lobster claws and have narrowed it down to the following three options. However before I take the plunge I was keen to see if anyone had them fitted to a 997...

This the first option - ATS Racelight in grey


Second option - BBS CHR gloss anthracite


Third option - Victor Innsbruck in silver


They will be fitted to a 7.1 c2 in seal grey

Thanks for any feedback

What car you thinking about putting them on? I checked the first two and they don't do correct fitments for a 997.1 C2S. Which is a shame, because I'm looking for wheels to replace lobster claws on my C2S...

Check http://rimstyle.com/ and input your car and they confirm what will fit. You may require spacers as the offset might not be an exact match...am no expert just what I am establishing/learning as I go through the purchase process!

OZ for me, but whatever you go for try to make sure they are TUV. I've seen enough broken/damaged wheels to be ultra careful about aftermarket rims. Last thing anyone needs is a fracture at 170+

Standard is 8" x ET57 front and rear is 11" x ET67. I only checked the first two, but they're not available in standard fitment. Maybe I'm fussy, but I'd want to avoid spacers if possible. If you take a look at your existing Porsche wheels, the width and offset is cast onto them.

Thanks for the tip re TUV...ATS and BBS are certainly approved...not so sure about Victor though???
