Hi all

I would like some advise from 6speeders. I have modded my 996 and the 3 sets of wheels I have are just not working anymore, I think the car has a pretty agresive look and I just want some input on what you all think.

You might be interested on my wheels for sale. If you wanted your car to have a different look, then you gotta consider my wheels...

I have not seen anybody with this set yet unless you go out of the country....

Just a thought....

Hey Paul

For 18s, I actually like the turbo twists or the wheels in pic 2- sport designs, right? (normally I think the twists are "okay", but they look good with everything you have on your car, very clean)

I think scratch the LMs cause of the 18" applications make it look like 17s/16s with the big liip on them...

I mean, you have quite the options there! You know youre a porsche nut when you have 3 sets of wheels at your disposal

Thanks Paul...

New rims, eh? Are you thinking about keeping the car? The Techarts or Cargraphics will look amazing.... But if you don't want to buy another set, I really like the turbo twists on your car. I think the wing really offsets them nicely. So you're in a pretty good position either way...

And btw, I think having four sets of rims will be a record for 996s worldwide...

bowmanm98 is an unknown quantity at this point
I like the Iforged Aeros in black have you seen those? Check out their site they have a lot of good pics. Expensive but not ridiculous.
