Wheel assistance

Guys and Gals,

I was hoping the on forum could assist me with some pictures of changes they have made to their wheels on their 997TT's. I am having a hard time deciding which wheel would look best on the car. I do know this though, the stock rims are not an option. Imho they do nothing for the car, as a matter of fact they make it look cheesy.

Again any assistance would be appreciated.

RG5 weight saving close to that of $9K ceramics

Looks like weight savings per wheel close to ceramics which makes
these wheels look a lot better deal all around than GT3 wheels. If the
Porsche insignas fit too, would like factory with a tremendous "unsprung"
wt savings.
