I have a 993TT , The wheels have been slightly kerbed and are 10 years old as is the car. I need new tyres and I was thinking of a make over to 19's or 20's, I love the 997 GT3 rims but can afford real ones, anyone else got any any advice or seem some nice additions to a 993 Widebody on their travels Also condidering, 997 5 spokes.

Any pics would be a great help. White car. I have always loved white and thought even white centres, like the 997 GT3 on the cover of evo some months back. I used to have my 87 carrera done this way and always loved it.

All over the place I know I suppose I am just looking for ideas and inspiration

Cheers

Steve

Noooo - don't tamper with the beauty of that car nono

Perhaps get the twists refurbished with the centres finished black - that's about as far as I would go. One of the members here has a silver 993TT with black-centered wheels and it does look superb.

Do you seriously reckon on getting 20" rims under there? What size elastic band would sir like for a tyre?

Looks like as per my bro in laws advice , every one loves the classic look. I actually have photos with 20's they were just too wide but fit fine.

100% agree - do not do it

18' technology / turbo wheels def the perfect match

As well as making you look like you're a Premiership footballer with more money than taste, 19 or 20" wheels are going to ruin the ride.

Don't do it. Either refurb your existing wheels or, if you're intent on changing, stick to another type of 18" wheel.

A 993TT and 20"?

Don't do it...

But those black with silver rims OEM wheels look nice though. I have a spare set of OEM wheels for my 993TT. I could very well see myself sending them off somewhere for that kind of look...Hmmmmm...

Very funny dealing with you lot, as you can see I am new to these forums.

Thanks for the passion...you seemed to stop the wheel monkeys chattering in my mind. I just wish I had bought the brand new set of turbo twists I saw on ebay last month now..
I like the black , I wonder if white on a white car would look goo or could be a cleaning nightmare..

I may just have to get a photo and play with photo shop

Ditto - stick to 18's.

As for your turbo twists, i have seen white on white and i didn't like it (Rennlist, Americans) but i have seen anthracite on a white car and that looked the business - very much like silver993tt's.

@Silver, f'kin lovely. You get me every time with that picture.

Have a look at the white tbo at this link. Black wheels look kinda cool in a white car.

I'm not aware of anyone fitting 20's quite a few 19's including my own, lots of pictures on Rennlist. Cant work out how to copy in here!
