Can I get some opinions on the nicest looking wheels for a turbo. Pics would be great too.
(will not be tracking the car)

Thanks

Victor

The monoblock are nice but I wish the spokes would not end on the edge like they do. The fronts with the offsets are kinda strange looking in person. I have seen them on the 997TT Meteor Grey Cab at Jim Ellis. The BMW CSL wheel for Porsche would look better almost like the HRE Monoblock P40

New HRE P series IMO
The older Sportecs looked good (the ones without dish and thinner spokes)....these newer ones above are butt
