Why? I am just comparing the difference between RUF (which is my choice) VS TSW via photoshop, it looks like the spokes protude out from the rim quite a bit. Anyone seen any lower priced knockoff's that look like RUF or TA's?

TSW's are widely avail., I would check with tirerack or TSW's web site. I'm pretty sure they fit P-cars as they ran an ad for these wheels in Excellence a little while ago.
Cheers,
Stan

I think Christian was reffering to the wheels that Tim was looking at not the TSW's.

True, I loved the RuF "classics", that what I have on my car. It's the best looking wheel for the 911 IMO.

The RUF's are beautiful. There was a set of 19's for sale in the classifieds a little while ago.

There still being refinished the last I heard. I think the look is elegant and simple, unfortunetly the rims are heavy from what I understand.

That pattern wheel really doesn't suit a porsche. The twist style is kind of dated IMO and doesn't flow with the natural lines of the pcar. That being said, if you like it go for it.

I also do NOT feel that the wheels will compliment the car.

Do they all twist the same way? If yes, they will be "braking" on the right side of the car... I know OE turbos do the same, but on this design its much more obvious.
Not my choice of wheels, I prefer the look of "performance" before "bling". But if you like them, get them!
