Jongbloed 550 wheels in black-anodized finish
(Yes, that is a GT3-RS, but they look just as good on a turbo!)

Do not know the name of these ADV

This to me is very clean, modern and does not scream after market, but almost as if Porsche OEM off of a performance package!

I know I'm going to be in the minority here, but I think I prefer 18's over 19's on the 996TT. I've always been a fan of mesh wheels, but one of my favorite wheels ever were the Kinesis K28R's I had on my MKIV Supra. The "R" is for the reverse drop, so the lips were very deep and flat. Too bad the company got bought out by Lexani and have become more of a "bling" wheel as of late.

I don't have the weight at hand since I'm travelling but they are rather light, similar to OZ Ultraleggera if I recall a comparison in our club correctly.

9" and 12" I use is actually the size sold for 997 turbo in Germany, you could also use 8 1/2 and 11 if weight is important I guess..

Ray S,

Those wheels look PERFECT on your car!

Do you have any more details on the fitment?

Diameter, offset, tire size, spacers, etc...?

Thank you for the photos.
