Its a wheel poll.

here is my ghetto ride. Please help me choose some wheels
I want clean classic/classy, close to factory look, thats why I chased for a factory Aero car instead of a regular 911 and piece-mealed it together. My car is on Jack stands right now, sale pending on the blingers. they should be gone by 4 pm today. I am leaning towards 18's for a cheaper tire, and more cushy ride. what are your e-thoughts?





1. 19" Ruf Knock offs




2 18" something




3. 18" classic



4. 19" silver Mesh



5. 19" black mesh



6. 18" turbo twist

Of those I would pick the RUF knockoffs but why not get the real thing or better yet get a set of used HRE or iForged.

+1..but either style is cool and it gives your car more of a stock/sportier look still. 19s also will fill the gaps better than 18s.

Post pics when you get your new wheels put on!!

Great pick enjoy them but beware though they create uncontrolled moments of staring. Curious what offsets are they in and what rubber are you having put on?

There are quite a few choices with a rear 295's and look nice and wide.

The 19" silver mesh would set your car up nicely.
