Ever since the 997.2 was released I've been in love with the wheels. Would in be stupid to put those on my '07 997.1? I've had issues before when people do things like that when there are drastic changes to the look for the model, but the changes between the 997.1 and 997.2 are pretty subtle other than the lights. Thoughts please on whether this is lame to do....

 

Not at all. You do what you like. Who cares whether it is to someone else's taste.

On the other hand, if you want to change wheels, I'd go for something much lighter. The turbo II wheels are heavy.

 

Theoretically my 997.1 get's delivered this week. When it does arrive I am planning on either putting on the Turbo 2 wheels or HRE 40s. Like you, I just love those wheels (oems).

 

Looks better than the factory rims.

 

I put turbo 2 wheels on my 08 997tt and love them and always get compliments on it

 

any pics? where in NY are you from?

 

i was kicking around the idea of the P40's but wasnt so sold on them. i really love the 2010 GT3 rims, but just couldnt cross it on with the turbo...

Awesome choice in wheels

 

The Turbo II wheels are great looking. Some of my favorite wheels that Porsche has come out with. Let me know if you need pricing... Happy to help!

 

looks great...mine is a gt silver as well! i love the stance on the car....

 

Here's the P40S which is 1-2 lbs lighter than the P40. These are brushed with tinted clear coat

 

I think the turbo II wheels look great. I kicked around many different styles before making my decision as they were not cheaper than the P40s and others I looked at. I got a brand new set w/PS2s...they're not easy to come by but worth it IMHO.

 

I think the best looking factory wheels are the fuch's replicas. They are a good bit cheaper than P40 and I love the retro look.
