Talking about the old style, forged 18s.

Something like champion would look a bit more modern, but these kinesis wheels are appealing to me...

Pic for reference...

Not my cup of tea. They do look a little dirty to me. Maybe a brighter silver or a better picture would make them look better.

 

I think they still look good!

They're not dirty, they're powder coated gunmetal silver or some similar color. You can see the lip is shiny. On a black car I agree they just look dirty. I'd go with black or brushed/polished silver unless the car was gray.

 

Kinesis as a brand is great, however that style wheel looks a bit dated to say the least. I say skip.

 

Here's a better close up.

Ahh, much better!!! I would say go for it if the price is right, but I wouldn't pick them over a Champion RG5!! Or a RG5b if you like the 3 peice look.

 

Paul, the wheels in the first post and this one are different wheels. You can see that the outer spokes on the first wheel breaks and flares into two where the rivets are. With that said, I like the second one more... the first one does look a little "flowery" to me... reminds me of something that should be on a VW bug

I know, I'm just looking for similar pics on a 996...

The wheels I'm considering are in my 2nd post-

Oh gotcha I think it will look sweet!

 

WOW, that looks REALLY good. They look like 19s?

 

Paul,

Yep, those appear to be 19s

Here's how 18" Kinesis wheels look

I like the shot next to the grape farm with the drip watering system. I have a 50 acre grape farm in Centeral California but have never ever driven the Porsche to to it. Where was that picture taken. The vine growth looks like the picture was taken in April/May or post harvest Sept/Oct

 

I came to the same dilemma, my first choice was:

BBS LM's

talk old school and tremendous looks...

but settled on a set of:

HRE 560R

will see...

 

I have k58's (5-spoke) on my car, black centers with polished lips...they look very fuchs-style to me...so, yes, a bit old school...I think that's good though.
