997 turbo wheels - is it just me?

[chumley-warner]

Or do they look rubbish? - I prefer the standard S wheels on mine.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some aftermarket wheels I could entertain - I like the look the wheels LeonS has on his RUF for example!

Anyone else thinking of doing this?

I believe Ruf us the OZ Superleggera on the RT12 which is a great looking wheel , however i've seen a few US 997TT's favouring the 997GT3RS Wheel in its standard Silver colour which looks stunning IMO.

No, I agree never ever liked themon the 997.

BUT....for some strange reason I think they look quite good on the 996?

beautiful slippy - are those the superleggeras or the super tourismos?

[Slippydiff]

Herr Mantheys wheels are made by BBSs I believe.

These are lovely - Champion RF67 (standard size):

I notice they are all porsche crested - do you get them through the OPC and can you get them fitted as part of a new build or do have a set of the standard ones cluttering up your garage?

the wheels on the black turbo look best imo but saying that they all look better than the standard ones.

I think I can answer half of that myself now - went to see the demonstrator at East London - you can only specify the standard wheels - you have to buy new ones yourself and keep the standard ones. They also said the turbo wheels don't fit any other car due to offset so there can't be much of a second hand value on them either.

I think they look great. Lovely finish to them.

At first I didn't like them - now I love them.

It's the job of car designers to push boundaries and confound expectations - generally the styling will grow on you. I wouldn't order a TT with anything other than the 'standard' wheels.

Likewise I used to hate white - now I think on an M3, TT, GT2/3, GTi it looks superb. Move with the times .
