Which Wheel

Guys - Give me your opinion on which wheel I should go with on my 2001 996TT (Silver)

I have Gunmetal HRE 546R's right now, they are pictured in my Avatar.

Here are the choices I was thinking:

1 - Keep the 19" Gunmetal HRE's as they are
2 - 19" Black Techarts
3 - 19" Black Work Rxx
4 - 19" Black HRE's
5 - 19" Brushed Silver wheel of sme sort

What wheel should I do or keep?

I just bought Champion Motorsport RG519's and they look awesome. From the selection above, I like the Teacharts.

Here is a list of wheels by weight for comparison in kg by width. (It is for 18"s but you can get the idea) You should also take weight into account.

If he isn't taking it to the track regularly, he shouldn't care so much about the weight.

But it doesn't matter that much if the car is a DD. You'll barely feel the difference. For a DD, I would prioritize looks.

Ps. The hi=ball is being replaced as soon as i get a ok from controlit The last one was a big no no he said Ds.

I really liked the gunmetal 546R's on this car. Never liked parking next to it though.

Black centers would look nice as well, with contrast and CF on the car.

Why change what's not broken. It already looks good so keep the HRE's.

I'd say keep it. I may be a little bit biased.

Techarts weigh too much I should know. I'd go with the HRE.
