is it me, or do the wheels look a bit odd?

What do you think?

[mollytherocker]

Odd doesn't begin to describe them.

[pete.g]

They've sprayed the rims black and kept silver centres - makes it look like it's fitted with a set of 14"s with 85 section tyres.

Not a good look and I'd want it changed before purchase.

£40k for a pimped 996t with daft wheels?? WTF

Think I'd have a proper GT2 for the same money!!

How utterly strange. Wheels completely detract from the rest of the ad!

[mez3]

If they were all painted one colour they would look better.

[stuckmojo]

They look terrible, to me.

[tezza77]

They look awful... then again, if you've got enough power to rip the tarmac off the streets who cares what the wheels look like, thats a lot of horses.

Just to explan - those are BBS E88 racing rims (in a slightly worrying colourscheme)

The wheels themselves are probably something of the best you could put on your Porsche (I'm biased as I run a set of them on my GT3 for trackdays).

The antethisis of bad taste, IMO, topped off with a naff no. plate. At least it doesn't have 'drug dealer' tints.

If the dealer had taken the trouble to present it better (wheels and no.plate), with a more articulately composed narrative, it might have more appeal. Personally, I'd rather spend that kind of money on a later, original, unmolested, 996 T, GT3 or 997S.

Antithesis?? I guess you mean the "apotheosis"...? (antithesis = complete opposite of something)

[Koln-RS]

No, I meant the antithesis of good taste, but you're quite correct, thanks

Reminds me of the wheels on my sons' lego cars.....

[Acf69]

I'd like to change the wheels on my 996TT, I have now found one design that won't be on my wish list...

[mudy]

I quite like these

Work VSXX wheels in 19×8.5 and 19×12 with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Tires in 235/35/19 and 315/25/19.

Wheels look similar to those found on kiddies cars...then I noted the car is registered to a boy called Reg [REG 8OY].

[Alpinestars]

Redonculous.

[amirzed]

thats mental

[monthefish]

Horrendous.

Ruins the whole car.
