Now that the new 997 turbo has been out for a while, I'm wondering what guys are doing to dress up their wheels. I realize that some of you are changing out the wheels all together. What I would like to see is photo's of changes that have been made to the original wheel. I know some of you have painted, polished or chromed your wheels. Let's see your stuff?

 

Here ya go..

^ Not sure how that helps the OP. He wants to see changes in OEM wheels, not new wheels completely.

 

Thanks for the photo's. Curious, what HRE wheels are these?

Yes, the main purpose of this post is trying to see if others have done anything to change up the original 997 Turbo wheels? I know folks are doing something but you don't see a lot of discussion around it.

 

540R or the newer 590R....

The best thing to do with the TT wheels is to sell them to someone else and get some good looking wheels...

 

LOL. Come on, they are not that bad! They really grow on you! What are you running on your 997S?

 

Exactly!! They're awful, forget dressing them up, go aftermarket

 

BBS RS-GT

Here are my suggestions: HRE C20, 997 GT3, BBS LM (esp w/color-matched centers), RUF wheels, etc. There are a lot of classic, beautiful, strong wheels out there.

Strength is the only thing those 997TT wheels bring to the table.

 

Here is what I did...painted the grey...gloss black..to match my mirrors (gloss black too)..and the glass itself..actually looks great...bigger difference than I expected...top to bottom...

I saw a photoshop I think, where someone had painted the center spoke in each of the sets of 3 the same gray color as the interior of the spokes, made it look like 5 sets of 2-spokes. Looked great, hopefully someone else saw it and knows what I'm talking about, maybe even saved the pic, I didn't. D'oh.
Edit: Hers a quick Photoshop of the middle spoke eliminated...I'm not sure whose car this is, but it was the first good shot of the wheel I could find. Next p-shop (a bit of a crude one) is of the center spoke done in the same dark gray as inbetween the spokes. Bottom pic is same as top pic, but with front and rear wheels both without center spoke.

 

I like the gloss black. Doesn't make them look so muddy. Did you have a paint shop do the work?

 

The gloss Black actually makes the wheel look alot better looking.

 

An option would be painting the inners in the same colour as your car, If your car was Meteor gray, you would paint the inners the same colour.

 

I'd switch em' out vs paint them.
