I would most definitely choose the Ruf. It is a far more classy package, much more in keeping with the visual dynamics of a Porsche IMO. I couldn't imagine driving anything that looks like the Gemballa above, but that is just me...

I like the Ruf design better as I find the Gemballa to be a bit garish. However, I prefer the dished wheels on the yellow car. Not real big on the flat face of the Ruf wheels.

tough one, but I would choose the R Turbo VINT.. just more classy and its a collector really.. Gemballa is beuatiful though.. I saw one the GTR 650 in person.. amazing! but the RUF would be my choice

[B]No brainer for me though:





..I like them both, but IF I'm spending my money, I'd go with the RUF.


>>> BTW: Has anyone ever seen the RUF wheels in another color other than the Polished look/finish??

Yeah, the RUF 590 for me too, but the Gemballa 750 would be tough to pass up.
