Changing Wheels Again Which One???

Okay guys Currently this 997 shown below has a mesh style wheel, which most Porsche seem to have. I would like to do something a little diffent this time and I have a great oportunity to get into a new set of wheels from a new forged wheel line D2FORGED.

This is the car now:






I am looking at doing either of these three, what do you all think.

D2FORGED VS4




D2FORGED VS5




D2FORGED VS2





I have 7 styles to choose from but I narrowed it down to these three. The other styles are on their website

If all my concern was going fast goodies over aesthetic improvement, then like the HRE mono blocks I'd keep my stock wheels. Those too like HRE mono blocks are performance built and offers a one size fits all universal fit. I am really big on being able to customize (playwith) my wheels when it comes to the fitment, ie width, sizes, lip size, and offsets while still weighing in the mid 20s lbs for 20inch diameters.

These are all things you cannot do with a mono-block wheel. Not to mention I like to be able to pick up the phone and reach the manufacture of a product I am spending almost 5K on, just my .02

If I had to choose form those three and those three only, then the second one gets my vote.

I am being sponsored by this company so I have to go with one of these wheels and they are still looking for others to sponsor. BTW thats a sweet deal, good luck with the sell.

Not a P car but it has the VS5 in Matte Black face with a Black Chrome lip and blue fasteners, FTW. I think I will be going with the VS5, I went to RPM North and saw the wheel in person, Pictures do them no justice. I'm still open to more opinions
