I agree,i think the whole car looks a bit bling,especially when the standard 997s looks so good.

I like the wheels - not sure how compromised they are for form over function though.

Initially I thought they were hideous. However, they are starting to grow on me - and set the TT aside from the Carreras. To put any other wheel on the TT is likely to be a mistake - as it was with the 996 TT. I am in favour of big change/new things - which these wheels are.

Car manufacturers are very good at shocking the public - and we all throw our arms in the air, but in the end we come round and start liking it. Designers seem to have an amazing ability to influence our taste and style! I even like the 5-Series now... and love the RR Phantom, both of which I originally thought were monstrous.

My TT will have those wheels...
