Wheely confused

[Little Dave]

I have a bog standard Artic Silver 996tt. I am toying with the idea of changing the wheels to Techart Formula's in matt black with the silver rim.

I have two questions. Firstly I think some cars really carry off black wheels,I realise that this has been discussed recently on here, but I am still unsure if an artic silver car can. Secondly I have a choice between 18" or 19". Would the 19" really kill the handling and the ride and do they look too blingy?

TIA

996TT with 19". I think you're right about it being a bit bling.

This may give you some ideas.
19's not the best way to go (with the state of our roads) IMO
They do look the mutts nuts but they're a very heavy wheel (and owners in the States have broken them by dropping them down potholes before now................)

Which football ground was that parked near?

Just found out through a flat tyre that at least one rim was buckled most likely through potholes in london. Have 19" all round and now a bit worried about my other rim. The damaged one was 'hammered' back into shape but not sure how much abuse it will take so will be ordering new rims. Not sure how much better 18' rims will be on london potholes!

Bloody hell S993TT - I can't say I've seen many nicer looking Porsche's than that - come to think of it.... none spring to mind at the moment

Thanks for posting that photo

Silver993TT - fab looking car. It's the contrast between the silver and black that does it. Same as how a black 993TT with silver wheels does it - like mine!
