Looking for 997 Turbo Wheel upgrade

Its down between the 360 Forge Mesh Ten in Chrome Lip and Brushed Centers in 20"




VS. The HRE 792R in 20" with chrome lip and ______________ center. Brushed or custom color. I do not want black centers even though its a black car, as it will lose definition, and also i feel the black centers are played out. Any ideas for custom color options?

I have 3 piece wheels on my 996tt I would look for 1 piece wheels.. the 3 piece is a pain to keep clean.. you get water build up in the vally behind the face of the wheel...

I'll go against the trend above and say the HRE 792 with a gunmetal or anthracite center and color match the Porsche center caps.

The 792R with a black outer lip, brushed center and black inner barrel would look amazing. With such an open wheel and black inner barrel it will really show case the oversize calipers. However, not all companies powder coat the inner barrels. Either way it's a win, win situation. Congradulations on the new toy!
