posh wheels for 997 2s?

[9hellheaven]

Need some help opinions please chaps..Ive got the standard 19" Wheels on my 2S although I had them done in Black but left the silver grey rim. While they look rather nice on my Guards red 911 (to me anyway) I want to have a spare set. Ive got my new rubber in the cellar 2 x sets of Michelins and I thought rather than wait for my p-zoros to die then mess about taking wheels to cosco why not have a nice set to inter-change as and when.
Really not sure what to go for or where to look. I dont want to spend a zillion, any thoughts or even better photos would give me some ideas. Fancy maybe split rims..any thoughts? Thanks

I have the standard wheels on my 997 C2S and feel in changing the wheels from standard don't look good.
I was going to buy a red one but ended up going for atlas grey but I did see a red one with total black wheels at Goodwood and thought it looked fantastic.
Hold on to your spare tyres as it won't take long to kill the tread on the current ones

Its obvious, Wolfrace slot wheels,14 or 15 inch,get them off any mk3 cortina,should look the part.......or seriously seen a couple of 997 with Porsche wheels a bit like GT3 ones but not,think they were options..

14inch with loads of side wall rubber yes! yes! yes!

Think they were best with General grabber tyres.With the tyre name in white

Will prevent curbing the 'loys

I can see them now PORSCHE 997 around the tyre in white FANTASTIC!!
On black wheels even better

PM me a photo of your car and some pictures or links to some wheel styles you fancy and I can photoshop them on for ya.

Steve see you're local to berks what sort of area?,we better stop p*ssing off his choice of wheel,but some 22inch cayenne jobbies with rubber band tyres would also look great,probably been done in USA.

Ok change of subject then the arse end of your motor looks good is it as mean as it looks?

Yes mad car,only had it 3 months,was looking at 997s after 3 years without 911,but love GT3s,after much research found I could get son in back,no cage and I had belts put in back,with buckets no probs him getting in,just did 10 days in france with son in back with proper 911 child seat and 7 month pregnant wife and stuff.Did Lemans got done for speeding.Car is now de stickered,(was in photo),guy selling car had the plate on retention so we did a deal....So the car has turned out to be useable,but hits the ground, is harsh,but bloody fast and I've had a few quick ones before.I really do need to learn to drive it cos it is hairy,and does go all over the place...Love RSs but test drove a few, couldn't justify 15k extra for same performance and they dont do yellow ones....But love RS spoiler,hence the one fitted...All in all mega car.

I had 996 C4S for 6 months and thought it great before getting 997 C2S for which I feel is a fanastic car and IMO it seem the gap between RS's GT's to the more standard C2S's are so small now that it would be down to the driver on which one would be quicker.

Agreed my mate has 997s and up the A30 he took me,may be different on a track but,when does that happen,and we are talking less than half a sec to sixty difference.
