This stance is what made me buy a carrara white 997 TT with PCCB? Any one knows who this car belonged to?

So what color are these wheels?

technik1 is infamous around these parts
GT3 Titanium

If it helps we painted these turbo wheels (and caps) Porsche titanium like the 2010 GT3. But I think the darker grey looks better with yellow calipers.

For some odd reason I like the OEM white wheels so much so that I recently bought a perfect set of those to replace my current not so perfect white wheels.

Honestly speaking, there's no wheel out there that I like besides the Gunmetal OEM wheels. The money I have spent on the other set plus what I will spend on changing the color + S&H could easily buy me a newer set, but which one

However, I am gearing up on getting a tune,clutch and an exhaust as the Tubi is not loud enough for me so I would like to save few $$$ where ever I can.

Thanks to other members for their feedback too.

I think the hardest thing to buy for a car is a set of wheels, 1, they're are too many choices, 2. You can rely on pictures alone you need to see a set on the car in person.

Agree go with the other mods you mentioned, you'll love the results. I got a ride in a TT with the race version of our Tubi exhaust, I now think my exhaust needs to go as well.

I was a fan of the stock wheels but after a few years they, at least to me, have become quite dated. I pulled mine off and replaced with some OZ's during a tire swap. Its the first set of wheels Ive purchased for any car, Im usually a keep those stock kind of guy.

I wouldn't advise selecting a wheel finish by photos, that's not going to work. As guys already said, wheels often look great in some finish on photos, but suck in daylight. Others will simply shine on a bright day, but look ordinary on photos. Tough one to crack for sure!
